One reviewer notes:“Readers who second-guess Parini's choices will enjoy his bonus list of 100 additional influential books, also chronologically arranged. Here you'll find such uncontestable selections as Joseph Smith Jr.'s "The Book of Mormon" (1830), Upton Sinclair's "The Jungle" (1906), John Hersey's "Hiroshima" (1946) and "Our Bodies, Ourselves" (1973).”
