If you show excerpts and cited the book, it is obvious you are crediting the book, and it is not plagiarism. You are not claiming the passages from the book are **your own writing** , and it is "fair use" (the legal term) to cite passages from a book verbatim in the course of critiquing the book. You don't have to worry about it. You can include segments of reasonable length (some paragraphs, usually, not _chapters_ or _whole scenes_) to illustrate the critiques you are making.
