For example, you might begin your essay like so:
"The Count of Monte Cristo" is a action-adventure book written by the popular French author, Alexandre Dumas.
So your first sentence is pretty straightforward and tells what book you read and who the author is.

Possibly one of the most memorable quotes in the entire book, this quote gives a solid basis to move forward to the next thought. Spend the next sentences exploring the quote that set the tone for the second paragraph. Then, spend the next few paragraphs engaging your reader with your view on the book and what you have learned.
The good thing about writing an essay on the book is that you can present both sides of any argument that may pervade the storyline of the book. The sky is literally the limit on what information you can present.
