A literary response to any literary work needs to be "your" response - not of someone else.

Your response could include answers to questions like:

  • Whether you enjoyed/liked the book, and why?
  • What specifically you find interesting in the book?
  • What parts of the book you agree or disagree with?
  • What deeper significance do you see in various parts of the book?

If you understand things like that you may also comment on language and literary style of the author.
