Review # 1 was written on 2016-10-22 00:00:00 David Sterling While in college, I was forced to use this little piece of shit for everything I wrote...English I,II, Creative Writing, 19th Century Literature...etc, etc. I write to write, and I don't need a little "writing-rule-book" to tell me how to do it; for two years I felt like I was forced to write with my hands tied behind my back. Anyway...to Mr Faigley (a very unfortunate name, I might add,)I offer my most sincere apologies....but your Penguin Handbook sucks!

Review # 2 was written on 2014-02-01 00:00:00 Nicholas Eiesland Here's the thing: this text is bare bones and mostly "just the facts Ma'am"; just the thing for community college or non-English major students. I've found the "Reader" section, which contains real-life essays on topics from immigration to machsimo to defining family, to be a useful supplement for modeling examples of writing topics, strategies, and architecture. Plus, the TOC sports a cross-reference that matches up the categories of the essays in the "Reader" section to the "Rhetoric" section, so I don't have to flog my brain, and, gasp -- do it myself.
