Hey Marina! Your Outliers book report, in general, was objective and well-written. I like how you cite the author a lot and state your own opinions about his theories. I also like how you stated his thesis and applied it to your life. You followed most of the guidelines as well (Summarize the book, recommendation, general evaluation). Maybe try to to talk about Gladwell´s writing style a little more, like what sort of techniques did he use, the tone he used throughout the book, etc. You also have some run-ons and wordy sentences here and there but I think that can be fixed if you revise your report again. Overall, you did a good job!
In your book report for Made To Stick, you summarize the book very well, however, I think the evaluation could be more developed. Maybe try to pick a theme that the authors used that you particularly liked or that you thought was the most effective, and do not forget to add page numbers (I forgot to do that in one of mine as well). What sort of techniques made the book interesting to read? How do they apply their own suggestions into their own writing etc. Some sentences are also a little wordy. You followed most of the guidelines though. You had te recommendation, the summary, and an evaluation.
