I enjoyed this more than many other books of criticism I might have read. Dirda is a real enthusiast. I had to resist spending hundreds of pounds on Amazon buying up everything he mentions. He makes me want to read so many books. Like many great critics, he has catholic taste. His PhD from Cornell in Medieval and Renaissance literature doesn't stop him enjoying crime, adventure, fantasy and horror stories.
