I wanted to refresher on lit theories; however, this book felt more like a lecture than an intro book. Too dense without decent transitions.

Gave it 2.5 stars because the last 80 pages were a much easier read. Concise, gave relevant info, was able to see the threads. I wish the author had talked about intersectionality and interdisciplinary themes more. Too many boxed concepts when many worked together.

Don't recommend for beginners or people just needing a refresher. Good for college students midway through a 101 course.
