 A well rounded literature textbook December 7, 2000
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
We used this book in my literature class, and I should say that I am not a fan of literature classes, but this book was very surprising. It contains short stories, poems, and plays like any other text, but if offers a wide variety of topics for selection by the professor or the student based on personal preferences or educational objectives. For instance, when working with poetry, students may choose from a variety of poems from baseball to romance. It is all there! Another example would be the short stories in the text; they range from stories of military experience to Asian family traditions. It is not only a literature book, but also a book of culture and variety. It is so well rounded it should appeal to all types of personalities, likes, and dislikes.

I used this book for a college literature class. It is a great book, I loved most all of the short stories, plays, poems and more. I only thing is that before buying this book look for past ed. I bought this one not knowing that I had the book in the ed. before. The cover is different but that is all my friend had the older book and was just fine, Save some money.

This book is a good small edition to the full-sized book. While it is off in page numbers, and thusly creates the need to admit to not having the full text, the book itself had everything I needed for my class.
