How to write a book (chapter) criticism on "Translations" (act 2)

Hello,
I am to write a detailed book criticism on Translations (Act 2).
Does anyone have any general advice on how to write a book criticism (not a review) at degree level?
Thank you very much in advance.

Book Reports / Critique (not a review) on Translations; any help would be fantastic :) [4]

Oh :(
Thank you for getting back to me anyway.
I am at such a loss, I don't know where to start. I thought I had to write about the book but now she (teacher) has said she wants us to discuss the stage directions and other aspects that I am very confused by.

Can you give me any advice on how to write a detailed book criticism? It's not a review & it's 2nd year degree level.

Thank you in advance and if you can't thanks still. xx

Hi everyone,
I've never written a detailed critique before, which causes obvious problems for me in my 2nd year of Uni.
I have to write a detailed critique of Brian Friel's Translations, act 1.
I always wander off when writing essays (I'm a creative writing student) so my creative pieces are getting 1st level but my essays are barely passing :(

Any detailed help would be so great & thanks for reading this.
Hugs, Lucy xxx
