Book Reviews of The Norton Anthology of Poetry

Book Review: A University Text That Can Be Enjoyed By Anyone
Summary: 5 Stars

This book may look duanting at first sight but don't be put off! Even if you never read poetry this book has something for you. From Gilbert and Sullivan extracts, try and read those out loud, to 'The Owl and the Pussycat' this book isn't just ironic prose for english students with to much time on their hands. Of course there are extensive sections for the greats; Chuacer, Milton, Shakespeare, Tennyson, i think you've got the point. You'll also discover poets you've never heard of, Louis MacNiece is one of mine, just by opening up at a random page, more fun than doing it with the bible. And if that isn't enough this is a big book on your shelf which makes people think you are clever as hell, or maybe just a ponce. So buy this book and let your friends decide which one you are.
