Negative Positive
Title: Not literate yet.
Review: This book is no Hooked on Phonics for the Soul. It was not the enculturation to supplement my acculturation. Some parts are better than others. blues, Blue-Tail Fly, and bohemian start p. 170. The middle one is interesting to learn about: a slave song, its refrain I had heard, "Jimmy crack corn, and I don't care; My master's gone away." The other two words are briskly defined with no attempts at etymology.It could be useful only if you want very superficial information about history, health, and society. For people with real curiosity: Google, Wikipedia, or actual library visits will satisfy better.
