Reviews

[Laura Walin · Rating 3 out of 5]

As all the article collections, this too was not able to provide cnstant quality througout the book. And despite the effort of the editor to explain teh connection of each article to a bigger whole some of them seemed more out of place than others. Nevertheless, the book also offered moments of revelation, clarity of insight and food for further tought in teh realm of narratology, so reading it was definately not waste of time.

Mostly just skimmed as background research. Only mild-to-moderately useful to me.
