This might have been useful to me in early eighties high school, I had a class in which I had to write book reports, once per week I think, and there was a sort of template as to how they had to be written with analysis of character motivations etc.<p>It's been a long time but I found something about the critical methodology used just extremely insulting to any piece of literature it was applied to, reductive and harmful to actually appreciating anything, so despite reading a minimum of 4 books a week I decided to write fake book reports. Generally crappy science fiction and fantasy was the genre.<p>I only remember one fake book I wrote a review of - The Hinterlands of Horlon - a crappy Tolkien rip off with a quest and everything, written by James R. Canton which was also a role playing character name I had for some occult spy game I was in at the time. Fake cover art would have been a nice topper to the fraud.
