i'm doing a research paper on a book,& the book's author has to live outside of the U.S. (ex:John Flanagan wrote Ranger's Apprentice Series,lives in Australia).I was going to do John Flanagan's first Ranger's Apprentice book,The Ruins of Gorlan,but it's too new.i forgot that it takes awhile for critics to review a book.after looking at 5 or 6 books,that didn't work,i'm now doing Anne McCaffrey's The White Dragon,part of the Pern series.i have like 4 or 5 good literary criticism sites,but i can't find anything for her book,the white dragon.the kind of literary criticism i'm looking for is on something of the White Dragon,like Jaxom's relationship to Ruth (his dragon),& how it conflicts with his duty to be lord of his hold,what he & Ruth think,& what others in the story think,etc..an ex.,like something like that.i was just wondering if anybody knew of place(s) where i could find critiques on Anne McCaffrey's The White Dragon?i'm at a loss for where else to look.any ideas,on the internet?

Honestly, if you want reliable criticisms, avoid using internet searches because those generally yield a lot of garbage. I am not really familiar with the series you are talking about, but it wouldn't hurt to look in the literary criticism section of a bookstore or library. If this is a young adult book or series, try looking in the non-fiction area of the children's section. If this is not a young adult or children's series, if you have access to it, go to a college library and look through those databases... there are fantastic criticisms to be found there. JSTOR is a great database. There are several others. If you need help finding these, I'm sure a librarian would be more than happy to assist you.

Try going to a bookstore or a library to look around. Sometimes its better to see how available information is before you choose a book to do. Choosing a book with little to no available information just makes it really hard for you to find something. Next time, before you decide on a book, do a quick search to see how much relevant information pops up. You might be stuck between a rock and a hard place if you cant find anything..

I in basic terms did a paper on the discovery and early tiers of baseball, it replaced into particularly particularly relaxing and that i replaced into able to do my artwork because of the fact i'm drawn to baseball. I dont be responsive to in case you're yet thats in basic terms my theory. ok perhaps no longer relaxing, cuz that's a examine paper. even even though it replaced into the main relaxing subject count i could think of and it didnt get uninteresting
