The Complete Idiot's Guide to Literary Theory and Criticism

OK, I lied! I didn't finish this book, I got about 90% of the way there and had to return it to the library. I still want to give it 5 stars as it was a fantastic introduction to this topic and very easy to read and understand on a basic level. I am currently learning the concepts in more depth and this was a great starting point before diving in to the challenging texts.
