Good Guide,
By Louis XIV "horba" (Bothell, WA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Cambridge Companion to T. S. Eliot (Cambridge Companions to Literature) (Paperback)
While nothing compares to actually reading T.S. Eliot, this book is a good introduction for new readers of T.S. Eliot. I would suggest that you read some of his major works first then read this book.

Kindle edition has problems,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Cambridge Companion to T. S. Eliot (Kindle Edition)
This is a very informative book, and it is well written. But, the Kindle edition has format problems. The end marks don't link, it is missing chuncks of words on some locations (one page has about 10% of the words are missing) several letters per word are missing so the page reads like having to solve a puzzle. On a different page the text is overwritten by other text. This is not in the part you get as the sample. I don't know how they will let anyone know the issue has been fixed, but I just wanted to apply an FYI.
