300 page book, 4 page book report.
A 4 page book report on a 300 page book seems a little wordy to me.
In High School after reading a book that short I would have been expected to submit at most a 2 page report.
Outline the pertinent points of the book, explain (in your own words) the authors intent of the book, submit a very brief summary of the book, and lastly my impressions and thoughts of the subject matter.
All these things should be achievable in one to two paragraphs each, at most a 2 page report, three if you go into greater detail.
we had a director in our department in CA state government. If you can’t summarize it on one page i don’t want to read the GD report
It's government. They have to replace any straight talk with polysyllabic vaguery, followed by an acronym. When I worked at the VA, it seemed they had an acronym for everything. Then one day I saw a memo regarding the Dental Implant Center but there was no acronym! I asked aloud why there was no acronym for the Dental Implant Center and the old ladies around me howled with laughter.
