Book, Play, and Music Reviews

Whether used on a website or in a print publication, reviews of books, music, and local events help to develop readership and a sense of community.

As an avid reader and a literature major, I write engaging and intelligent book reviews. I also review local events, such as plays and music performances.

• Review of Daniel Defoe’s Moll Flanders
  Classic novels such as Moll Flanders offer delightful opportunities for literary analysis and interpretation.
• Review of Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island
  In an attempt to explain Treasure Island’s enduring popularity, I discuss its themes of adventure and morality.
• Review of Dan Savage’s The Kid
  Although literature is my first love, I also enjoy reviewing modern fiction and nonfiction, such as this humor book.
• "Frozen at Curious Theatre Tackles Icy Themes"
  A well-written play can have just as much depth as a literary novel, as this Curious Theatre production demonstrates.
• "Tracy Letts's Bug Explores Depth of Human Weakness"
  I reviewed the Curious Theatre production of this play, which has also been made into a movie due to its popularity onstage.
• Review of Susie Suh’s Live Performance
  My review of Susie Suh’s opening performance appeared on a music blog I was contributing to at the time.
