3/5 Stars (%60/100)

I am not particularly a fan of contemporary literature so this volume did not really interest me as much as others. However, it is still very useful and I use it constantly to quote some writers. All 5 of these volumes are equally important and they all helped me in different ways. I definitely recommend this volume and the whole anthology.

Excellent content. It should have an e-book edition. As a physical book, the pages are rice paper thin.

However, with its excessive weight it makes a sturdy door stop.

I had this text for Creative Writing. We only read a small number of works from it, but it seems to have a good variety. It was not at thick as the other two I had for my English classes this semester and that made it my favorite of the three if I had to choose.
