"I had to use this book in my AP English Class and I absolutely loved it. It had a wide range of essays on a variety of topics ranging from race relations to fatherhood by a variety of authors both classic and modern. It exemplifies good writing and even if you dont like one particular essay there is always another one that you will like. I highly recomend this book, even as a casual read."
"A wonderful book for English Composition classes. It makes a good reader for a reading skills class as well. The readings are varied in difficulty as well as period. In fact, several of my students this semester liked the book so much that they are not selling it back to the bookstore!"
"I use this book in my English 100 class. There is a fantastic variety of essays to choose from, great information, and decent questions for students to think about."
"This turned out to be an excellent book to use for an expository writing class that's not exclusively focused on argumentative writing. There's a wide range of essays and authors, and they're all short enough that even freshmen won't balk at reading two of them for each class. The one thing that bothers me somewhat is that the pieces that are excerpted from books I've read generally don't represent the book very well--important information is missing--and sometimes don't make a lot of sense. Overall, though, I'm pleased with this as a reader. It's generated some interesting class discussions."
