Lit Up: One Reporter. Three Schools. Twenty-four Books That Can Change Lives. by David Denby

1.0

Painfully dull. Captures little about teaching or reading and the author's own mindset and predispositions over shadow it all. Did not expect his analysis of the kids and their apparent moodiness or gloominess or his opinions on their decisions and behaviors. Had high hopes for book and forced self to read to end as the initial premise was interesting but he essentially narrates a timeline of canonical reading with some book blurbs and quotes from class discussions.
