"Okay, this is an AP prep book. I don't think I need to say much more. Some of the information here is helpful and will be copied, but it's nothing that I probably could have come up on my own... and I'll definitely have to supplement it with my own suggestions. Basically, if you're considering taking AP English Literature and Composition, your money would be far better spent reading real books rather than this. I suggest Ellison's Invisible Man and Gatsby, as they fit almost every free response question ever posed. (Believe me, I've tried.)
Major failures of this book, in my mind:
1. The explanation for the multiple choice questions at the end of the practice tests is rather flimsy. Sometimes it's as important to explain why a detractor is NOT the right answer as it is to explain why the right answer is "more right." If you're going to offer an explanation section, you might as well do it right.
2. The formatting of this book is not very copy friendly. I guess the editors wanted to present the practice tests in a similar format as the real AP test, but I really wish they had made it easier for teachers to copy pages without wasting a lot of paper. Of course, the intention probably isn't to copy. Ha. (Dear publisher, it's for educational purposes! I promise!)"
