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

3.0

The speaker, at times, comes off as condescending, and he frequently digresses in order to opine on what's happening in the classroom he's visiting, but this book did offer some insight into how the "classics" can speak across generations to reach some of our more troubled students. It was a fast and, for the most part, enjoyable read. Any English teacher would likely be able to take something away from this book.
