Protagonist (Identify and say something important about him/her):

Antagonist (Identify and say something important about him/her/it):

Theme (What is the main lesson learned in the story; support your response with evidence from your novel):   

Brief review: write a two- to four-paragraph review, explaining why you liked or did not like the novel and if you would recommend it to others.  Be very specific.  Make it sound like a professional review.
