The most popular Literature anthology continues to bring students the finest literature from fables to poetweets.  The Twelfth Edition of Literature: An Introductiuon to Fiction, Poetry, Drama, and Writing,edited by X. J. Kennedy and Dana Gioia, includes eleven new stories from students’ favorite authors:  ZZ Packer’s “Brownies,” Ray Bradbury’s, “The Sound of Thunder,”  Anne Tyler’s, “Teenage Wasteland,” David Leavitt’s, “A Place I’ve Never Been” and Isabel Allende’s “The Judge’s Wife.”  More than 60 new accessible and engaging poems have been added including former Iraqi soldier Brian Turner’s “The Hurt Locker,” Katha Pollit’s “The Mind-Body Problem” as well as poetweets from Lawrence Bridges and Robert Pinsky.  In addition, there are new poems from Kay Ryan, Benjamin Alire Saenz, H. D, Gary Snyder, Joy Harjo, Tami Haaland, Robert Hayden, Denise Levertov, and William Carlos Williams. Three new one-act plays help “ease” students into the study of this genre. The new plays include two comedies-- David Ives’s, Sure Thing and Jane Martin’s Beauty–as well as Edward Bok Lee’s experimental drama El Santo Americano. In addition, Milcha Sanchez-Scott’s The Cuban Swimmer has been added.

To review the content, I would actually give this book 5 stars. The problem is, the Amazon star rating doesn't give one the ability to rate different aspects, just the entire package. And as an entire package, this release is no better than 3 stars.

In terms of the content, they've pulled together a ton of different literature, written about the history and other aspects of the literature and included critical writing of some of the literature as well. This really breaks down the process of critiquing literature and everything is well written and well compiled. While most will purchase this for college courses, I'm finding I actually don't mind reading the stories on their own... though you definitely wouldn't buy this just for that!

Where the book falls apart, almost literally, is in workmanship and materials. The paper stock used is EXTREMELY thin paper. So thin, in fact, that text from the next page bleeds into it, making some of the pages difficult to read. I would compare it to toilet paper, but that's probably grading the paper too highly. At best it feels a little heavier than tracing paper. No, really.

I cannot fathom how, with good conscience, a publishing house could release such a shoddy piece of work and charge $90 MSRP for it. The only thing I can imagine is that they have decided to milk as much money as possible from "text books." We know college books are overpriced, but must they also be the cheapest in terms of workmanship? The answer is, no, as I've paid less for St. Martin's Guide to Writing, also softcover version, and the paper and quality is much higher than this release, with a similar page count.
