5.0 out of 5 stars good way to get started on english lit, June 30, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: English Literature (Barron's Ez-101 Study Keys) (Paperback)

i'v used this book for direction in taking the clep in english lit and the gre in lit in english. obviously it isn't comprehensive, just skims, but covers the pertinent dates, figures, and works to get you going. i recommend the Masterplots series for in-depth essays on these topics -- much better than those cliff notes which bore me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Resource, June 12, 2007

This review is from: English Literature (Barron's Ez-101 Study Keys) (Paperback)

I am currently studying to take the Oklahoma Teacher's Certification Exam in English. This book has really helped me. I don't know what I would have done without it!!

When I began studying, I only had four weeks to study. Right now, I still have two weeks left, and I am actually starting to understand British/English literature. Please keep in mind; I have only had one literature class in my life, and I took it over 14 years ago. Basically, I was literature illiterate. This book has really help me a lot.

However, I must admit that I have done a lot of additional research. [...]

I also bought the American Literature EZ 101 because the exam will cover both areas. That book is equally as excellent as this one. By using those two books, by comitting to some serious study time, and by using wikipedia when I got stuck, I feel literate!!

I truly believe that this book is a good resource for self-study--if you're willing to study!! It WILL NOT give you every little detail; it is designed as a study guide to help you get through a college class where you actually have a teacher to help when you get "stuck". On the other hand, if you're looking for a study guide, I don't think you can beat it. It is excellent!!

This book is really wonderful. I took the English Literature CLEP test, and I think this was the only book I used to study for it. It has everything you need to know in a clear and concise form without the fluffy stuff. If you want a great guide to everything English Lit - get this book!
