  1. It is quite a good book review Hui Sheng, just that I feel that you empathise too much on the plot. You should have included your opinion on the character of the main protagonist of the story, which I can see is White Fang. I would also have liked your opinion of the book to be elaborated, not a short one sentence. In what way is the book good to read? Is it captivating, does it contain very descriptive words, does it have a good storyline? If all of the above were placed into the review, it would have been better.
