Reviews of Popular Fiction: Volume V, Issue 1 (Pennsylvania Literary Journal) (Volume 5)

This issue includes eight highly critical and mostly negative reviews of popular fiction (Twilight, Wallander, Percy Jackson, The Last Boyfriend, “The Island of Doctor Moreau,” You Have to Kiss a Lot of Frogs, The Troubled Man: A Kurt Wallander Novel, The Flower and the Flame, and The Draco Tavern). Readers who have been disappointed with popular fiction before should read these. The issue is also full of the usual academic reviews, essays, fiction and poetry you'll always find in PLJ. PLJ is focusing more on popular fiction recently to reflect the interests of the majority of the modern audience.
