Aw hell, it's wayyy easier than that! Here, take my advice. 1: Use a thesaurus. If the word you're thinking of has less than 2 syllables, it's not good enough. 2: Talk a lot about the mood caused by the setting, and the chars. English teachers love that. 3: Explain that you "liked the writing style because it goty the message of the story across, and made you think of similar occurences in your life". To you and I this sounds lame, but english teachers are another breed. This is all assuming you've read the book. If you haven't, google is your friend.

I've looked for sites that rate books, and I've never found anything good.

I know if tried looking ...but i can't find any criticism. I cant just explain things myself because my english teacher wants us to find criticism because this is my research term paper.

I love English and literature, but I can't find it in myself to help you at the moment...
