Overly Technical in Content,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Advocacy and Opposition: An Introduction to Argumentation (7th Edition) (Paperback)
Title says it all. I don't believe in technical language; when one argues, one presents evidence and so on and so forth. One does not need a whole book for this kind of thing really, just common sense; or at least, not this book. Still, paid $80.70 (Free shipping from Amazon Prime; Highly recommend it. Just sign up for free month trial and cancel the monthly renewal.) as opposed to $97.22 from my school's bookstore. Not sure if you've read my other reviews but this is my third time saying how much cheaper Amazon is. Getting rather repetitive.
