Summary: Close reading is one of the essential reading skills necessary for us to fully immerse ourself in reading. The book paved it way through the pages with seven pleasures of reading, and the multitude of passage context that can be interpreted. The book dissects passages and examined them closely, word-by-word, to appreciate the level of writing being put for the readers. The author did a remarkable work of integrating notable real-life works as example in his writings. His writings involved excerpts, lines and dialogues from Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet, The Great Gatsby and The Hobbits to name the few.
