Very readable and engaging. I am currently reading this as a text for a film and literature class, and am learning so much about analysis of adaptations. Sanders uses as many examples as she can lay hands on and still remain relatively concise. The topic itself can be a bit difficult to digest all at once, but Sanders' writing style makes the critical theory understandable and interesting. My copy has 150 pages, plus a glossary, making it easy to get through in a few days of study. Well worth it; I'm not selling this one back to the bookstore.
