Insightful and Entertaining

This book is like a key that helps you unlock the mysteries contained in literary works. It's easy to read and full of insights and helps you dissect the many meanings in literature. My only criticism is that the book is too short. I hope Dr Foster is working on volume two.

Why High School English Was Important

Foster gives a lively and very readable review of what we all learned in high school but have since forgotten. His examples are familiar and even include movies. Our book club read this and feel it will give us a little more depth in our discussions.

Amazing.

This book was utterly amazing. It made me realize some things I have never thought of when reading some of the books he discussed. I found it both entertaining and informative and a great help in my quest to understand everything I read.

Interesting and To the Point

Foster explores works that are read in most high school and college survey classes. He gives simple explanations for complex concepts and does so with humor. Students who sometimes struggle with commonly used elements will surely find this a helpful addition to their reading and understanding literature.
