From a college composition instructor, not all that great:
The three (not quite redeeming) strengths of this book are its reasonable price, readability, and great example essays for each genre of writing discussed - some essays by professional writers and some by first-year college writing students. The example essays represent a broad range of styles and voices, allowing students to see the variety of "right ways" that a person might write in a particular genre. As a teacher, however, I feel books such as this are something of a waste of time for my students.... more info
Great for English class:
This is a good book if you are taking an English class. It is divided into six sections- Rhetorical Situations, Genres, Processes, Strategies, Research/Documentation, and Media/Design. This book has really helped me in the Research section. I found this book really helpful and I did get great grades on my papers!
