Abstract
In this article, the book “Comment on Comment”, written by Seyyed Ali Kashefi Khansari, consisting of 12 book reviews, a pathology of children's literary theory books, and a response to review response, was investigated and criticized in two sections. In the first section, the form and content generality of the book were reviewed, and in the second section, all the articles separately, based on the principles of book review were reviewed. Finally, the lack of a comprehensive introduction, problems in the number of index pages, lack of reasoning and rationality of most of the claims made in the book, lack of citation and examples of claims and reviews when necessary, often the lack and sometimes deficiency of citing references, non-use of lexicons and specific language and some writing and typing problems are major drawbacks of the book. The strengths and weaknesses of book review articles include: Introducing the history and subject area of ​​books and their place among similar works in most articles, sometimes exceeding mere review, proposing new topics, categorizing and indexing or numbering reviews and axes of review in some articles that facilitates receiving concepts, and in the whole book, its simple and suitable appearance. Finally, the book was considered inappropriate for the academic research and education.
