Question: Is a book review a scholarly resource!?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Well it all depends!. Many teachers/professors/etc wouldn't accept a book review because it isn't a verifiable source that has an academic benefit!. Scholarly resources are usually academic and learned in nature and therefore a book review does not apply!. A book review says nothing about the academic qualities of a written work!.

You need sources like Infotrac or whatever scholarly database is available through your school (or local universities) to find verifiable and legitimate sources!.
