[Thomas Bergvinson · Rating 2 out of 5]

I learned very little about Joyce from reading this, but then what did I expect.

[Dan · Rating 3 out of 5]

The book includes a short biography of Joyce, a history of critical reaction to his books, and some interpretive commentary on the major works (there is a good analysis of the stories in Dubliners and of the levels of meaning on one page of Finnegans Wake). The bibliography is detailed, but fairly dated now.

[Alex Obrigewitsch · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book could use less of an overview of critical reactions to Joyce's works, and more in depth analysis and critique of Joyce's works.
