How long should a book review be?

<p>For the final project in my AP English class, we have to choose a book and do certain things after reading it, one of which is writing a book review that parallels those in the New York Times and such. The slight problem that I am having is that my teacher would like 4 pages, but I am done with three and I feel redundant. Does 4 pages seem long for a book review, or is it just me?</p>

<p>The book that I am writing the review on is “The Bonesetter’s Daughter,” by Amy Tan.</p>

<p>I apologize ahead of time if I posted this in the wrong forum.</p>

<p>Thank you for your commentary!</p>

<p>Word and page requirements are tough. We have to do what the teacher wants. Try expanding on your descriptive portions. Perhaps do a German style intro paragraph with lots of flowery examples.</p>

<p>Doesn’t matter how long a book review should be. </p>

<p>If your teacher wants four pages, or twenty pages, you give her that.</p>
