Semiotics is hard.... This is dense theory. But once you get it, really get it, it's like a new world opens and you start to apply the theory not only to film or text, but to every single aspect of life. Silverman outlines arguments by Freud, Jung, Lacan, Barthes, Derrida, etc, in a way that is clear and understandable. She often rephrases their argument so it becomes a bit easier to grasp. I learned a lot from this book and as a Literature student, there really is no escaping Semiotics.
