"5 Steps to a 5 AP English Literature" to my suprise is a very easy read. It explains everything throughly and gives you a good example of how the AP test is going to be. I would recommend this book to anyone who is going to take the AP test or just wants to learn some more about literature.

I teach AP English, and the school I work at ordered this book for my class last year. I honestly didn't use it and just told the students that they could use it at home for their own personal study. The book contains useful information regarding the AP test itself as well as some general literary information, but it didn't contain anything that I thought I needed to add to my classroom experience. I would recommend it for home-schoolers or a student who seeks some materials for extra preparation on his/her own time. I wouldn't think the average AP instructor would find it very helpful as it is not published in affiliation with the College Board.
