I think this book is awesome. It is very informative and easy to follow. It gives very good examples of the rules for writing, as well as tells you things to avoid. We were "loaned" the book in my composition class for the semester to evaluate but I used it so much as a reference, that I decided to buy it. I highly recommend this book for anyone who has to write reports on a regular basis, especially if you are just starting your college education. It has been very handy to me.

My school bookstore prices were outragous. This book was used but it was packed correctly and was here before classes.

I have taught from this book for three years now. I like the accessibility of the material-- my freshmen find it easy to understand, even the more difficult assignments, such as the persuasive synthesis. I like the examples-- we all learn new genres from imitation of the form at first.

Great resource.

I think that this book is really wonderful because it teaches us step by step how to analyze a text without falling in plagliarism and helps us understand the many sides of the text without avoiding anything.
