[LM_NET] Target: high school: critical lit reviews

[Ann Carstens <carstensa@HFCHS.ORG>]

Good afternoon,

My students occasionally need to find critical reviews of contemporary
literature, and often come up with little to nothing.  We don't have the
money to pay for a lit database (and it's hard to justify the cost because
of low usage).  The paid databases we have that I'm directing students to
are EBSCO Academic Search Premier, Gale's Student Resource Center Gold, and
EBSCO's Student Resource Center.  

The books that many of them are currently searching for reviews about are:
The Lovely Bones/Sebold
Life of Pi/Martel

I've also sent students to the IPL Literary Criticism Collection.
Can you suggest any other decent Web sites for critical reviews?  

Thanks in advance,
~Ann
