hate that this is the best book they (uni authorities) could come up with for literary terms. it is so damn confusing with no clear explanations and they expect us to write 15 marks answers based on this book.

pissed off that people don't even do the job they are paid to do. f*ck this shit! apologies if this is coming off as vicious but seems like everyone is working against the students at this point.

disclaimer: I have my exam in 25 minutes, this is more or less just a frustrated rant because this book helped me with ABSOLUTELY nothing. waste of money, waste of time.

full detailed review will come later because I don't have time right now.

I can't believe I'm actually done with this monster of a book. Didn't exactly love it, but learned from it so much, so incredibly much. I don't currently feel like discussing it or whatever; when you finish reading something like this, all you feel like doing is DANCING. So that's what I'm gonna do.

Contains a lot of theories and terms, and totally helps me understand in methodology of literary studies class!

I read this almost straight-through my freshman year, even though it's just a glossary. Very thorough and, somehow, fun.
