I got this book for a literature class. It has a great collection of stories but was very hard to get around. The lack of orginization made it difficult to enjoy.

The book is like most other literature books, this one was meant more for college. Containing mainly poems, plays, and short stories written by some well known writers that some of you could probably feel familiar with more or less. The book mainly delievers what it is about and therefore its satisfactory. The book also talks about the author such as dates and the other books in their collection of written material. However, I was hoping there would be more than simply this, like going in depth and explaining the literature. Finding written work is easy, finding a review that explains it when needed is a lot harder. But I guess with this, they can't really ask us many of the questions there. Maybe they should have an answer key.

This book has some great poetry in it as well as some really good plays and short stories. I definitely reccomend it as a good addition to any bookshelf.
