The Norton Introduction to Literature

I have no complaints about the book. I am glad someone had it at a reasonable price and I didn't care that it was used. I needed the book for a last minute class that I didn't know I needed to take for college. The book is in good condition and it is readable so that's all that matters. Thanks!

My opinion

This book is a very nice compact edition. I was required to have it for school. The reading is very fun, if a little puzzling at times. It requires effort to understand some of the selections, but that can make it all the more interesting.

Norton Anthology Review

This is a great compilation of literary work which I needed for school. The CDs that came with it are a valuable tool not to miss out on. Thank you for the prompt shipping.

The Norton Introduction to Literature Review

It was excellent! The description was accurate, and the included cds were unharmed. Thank you very much.

Excellent literature overview

This was required for a college course I was taking at the time, but I liked the book so much, I kept it after the course ended. I enjoyed the genre breakdown and selections of literature. Very thought provoking choices! If you'd truly like to learn about different literary techniques and how to become a "better reader," I'd recommend you give this book a permanent space on your bookshelf.
