Wonderful!

This book has so much information and great literature, you're sure to be an expert by the end! I needed this for my english composition and literature class and was able to easily understand and comprehend everything! Di Yanni is a great author - very clear!

Almost like the second edition

I was supposed to get the second edition of this book for my conteporary lit class, but got this one instead (I didn't read the edition). Ended up being that this edition was very similar to the second. I have yet to have problems with any of the classwork.

Excellent!!

It's a very good book. It has totally enlightened me on the various types of literature that exists. I had to purchase this book for my English Composition III Course at College but it was well worth the purchase.

Explanation of Literature at it's Finest

DiYanni gives excellent explanation and great examples of poems, plays, and short stories in his book. I actually bought this book for a Lit. class and I knew I would hate the class and the book when I saw how 'big' the boook was. Turns out I loved them both; and DiYanni in my opinion is an excellent author. This book is a great read for pleasure as well as study.

Informative

This book not only contains a lot of excellent literature, but it also gives instruction on how to read and analyze literature more effectively. This is a book I come back to again and again.
