This is an excellent book for comp theory and research studies. This book is a great way to learn about different theories used in composition studies.

Nothing special - needed it for class.

Be detailed and specific. What would you have wanted to know before you purchased the product?

Not too short and not too long. Aim for between 75 and 300 words.

Hate this book.. had to get it for class... Didn't like the choice the professor made in this book. The articles were redundant and hard to read and i am an advanced reader. I also dropped the class the second week of the semester. and I sold the book!
