Katherine Jenkins has long been a favorite of mine. I have all her CDs. But this Ultimate Collection CD is perfect for listeners who want to sample the music of this astounding singer. Classically trained, Katherine Jenkins is equally adept at arias and pop ballads. There’s something for everyone on this disk.

Margorie Garber’s The Use and Abuse of Literature jumps from topic to topic at warp drive. One chapter deals with writers who “abuse” literature by lying: James Frey and Ben Mezrich are invoked. And, Kitty Kelley. Then, Garber delivers some stiff doses of Freud and Marx. Suddenly, Garber plunges into a diatribe about the Literary Canon. Then Garber does an analysis of Love in Shakespeare. As you might have guessed by now, The Use and Abuse of Literature leaps from topic to topic without resolution. None of this jells together. I can’t recommend this book. GRADE: C
