2.0 out of 5 stars Not a good reader, July 16, 2009

By	Lucy McKenna "Book Girl" (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Longman Reader, 8th Edition (Paperback)

We stopped using this book at the college where I teach because 1) the chapters were too long and too repetitive on each mode, 2) the selected readings didn't fit the modes as outlined in the chapters, and 3) it's too expensive. I teach without a book now and use the internet to find examples for the reading, and I haven't missed it at all.

5.0 out of 5 stars Longman Reader, The (8th Edition) , September 16, 2008

By	Destiny M. Hulsebus "Destiny H." - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Longman Reader, 8th Edition (Paperback)

This book is really great for getting on the go with writing. I am using it in my College Writing class and I just love the way that it presents its topics. It breaks down all the steps for writing a great essay and why you do it. Then it also shows different examples, both of ameatuer writers and professional writers, which makes this book and it's context easier to apply to the reader's own writing.
