2 stars because I struggled to read this.

I very much enjoyed this book! It takes complex reader response theories and breaks them down in a way that is easy to understand. In particular, I was interested in the cultural response theories, and that section will help me greatly with my comprehensive exam essays. I would recommend this book to Language and Literacy Education practitioners and researchers alike. I am so glad I got to read it prior to having the privilege of meeting Dr. Beach and hearing him speak at UGA in a few days!

I had to go back to my books to read about reading and culture and I found this book. I have to preach fr it in here as it presents five reader response theories and how one can use each in the classroom to make readingmore effective for kids. An enlightening book.
