Reviews

[Cricket Muse · Rating 4 out of 5]

Helpful, if not essential, collection of literary selections which are directed to AP and college level literature classes. The critical analysis questions following each selection are insightful and flexible in terms of writing assignments and group discussion.

A neat and tidy collection of literature for AP students. Nice balance of classic and contemporary.
