I absolutely loved this book. I had no problems with the seller, every time I asked questions he would respond to me in a nice and respectful manner at the same time he was sincere in all his dealings. In adition, the book was what the seller had mentioned in his description.

A textbook
It is just another extremely overpriced textbook forced on college students. I am willing to say we only used about 10% of the material in the book. Do the math on that $$$$$

It is what it is.
The book does the job for school usages. Good thing it was used and not new. It's good to get by.

Pretty good rhetorical guide, though a bit skimpy on lit.
I actually use this book to teach college students how to write, research, edit, and cite, so I have picked up a great deal of info just from absorbing it. The book is laid out in chapters that progress from a basic context for writing, to prewriting strategies, to drafting and revision methods, to analysis of literature, and finally to researching and citing sources. The book covers MLA and APA formats. It also features a handbook section in case students wish to work independently on improving certain problem areas in their writing. There are very good explanations of all the rhetorical patterns.The one area that seems skimpy to me is the one on literary analysis. The book does not feature very many stories or poems either, so the teacher must supplement it. This is disappointing, since the chapter on argumentation is pretty decent.
