GENERAL COMMENTS:

Keep your tone friendly. You will be with your partner for many weeks. Focus on encouraging your partner to continue writing.

Suggested areas for general comments: on characterization if it was well-done. Did a plot twist get you? Did something pull you out of the story? Most of all, if you're enjoying it, say so and say why. Refrain from giving editing advice, including grammar, phrasing, and story elements.

Please identify them as "GC" or "GENERAL COMMENTS" for ease of enforcing.

Taking a character each week (starting with the protagonist), analyze the character and his or her arc. Identify the character's strengths and flaws. Indicate how they have affected the outcome of the plot. Examine the character's dialogue. Specify which chapter or chapters were the best-written for the character. If something did not work, make sure to point it out kindly and with at least one suggestion on how to correct problem. Minimum length: 15 sentences. Please post the character analysis in the last chapter of the book.

PLOT ANALYSIS INSTRUCTIONS:

Analyze the plot structure of the book. Identify which chapters include the following plot locations: opening exposition, primary incident, rising action, climax, and conclusion. Not every book has a conclusion. Some end on the climax chapter. Identify how the tension and conflict led to the climax. If there is room for improvement in certain areas, identify them tactfully.
