Review # 1 was written on 2012-09-15 00:00:00 KAREN KUZMIN If you want to get started with ethical criticism, its gains and risks, then this is THE book to read. I like how the editors chose different perspectives (often contradictory) on the subject, that really gives you a sense of where it is better to stand on the matter. If you want to go even deeper into the matter I suggest you read The Company We Keep, by Wayne C. Booth. Besides his sometimes verbose style, he makes some really good points.

Review # 2 was written on 2016-07-08 00:00:00 Jose Maria Mitjavila Buendia A very helpful guide to Delillo's massive doorstop of a book. Unlike the Continuum guide to "White Noise," I felt like I actually got a bit more out of the source text for reading this. The author connected several elements that actually helped sharpen my thinking while I work on the review for "Underworld." At the same time, it's still a study guide written to a template, and so it's hard to give it anything more than a "liked it" rating. If you've recently read "Underworld" and want a coherent (if not terribly daring) opinion about it, give this a shot.
