I must disagree with the reader from NY and agree with the one from Boston! After reading and checking the background to this book all information is correct! for example: I found no other pictures on the net! I would strongly recommend this book as a good buy!

I strongly disagree with this arguement, the book is extremely accurate in what it says and very well executed if i may say so! I think a judgement can only be made by an individual and i recommend that it be bought and your opinions put forward!

Cult Fiction was the first serious study of popular fiction of this type, and was intended to be a scholarly and academic study. Lots of books are on the shelves now which have copied what Bloom started. But he is still the best. I would recommend this book for students of popular fiction and academics alike.
