Angela's feedback:

"You do a good job of pulling examples from the book to explain why it is a difficult read in terms of the literary skills required and content presented. However, your essay would be stronger if you explained more thoroughly what you mean when you say that the book is appropriate “for later on.” It could be helpful, for example, to talk about what age range or school level you think the book would be appropriate for. You should also discuss why you think the book is not a good match for your current course. The essay would look neater overall if double (2.0) line spacing was maintained within a paragraph and between all paragraphs. In addition, the same font and font size should be used throughout the work. In American English, a comma should come before a closing quotation mark. When you have a parenthetical citation at the end of a statement, a period is placed after the citation itself, not both before the closing quotation mark and after the citation. Editing is needed to address word choice issues and typos such as “hee” instead of “he.”"
