"I just read the proper part of the book, not the reader, and, while the templates seem a little tedious, the philosophy behind the text is very helpful in providing a sense of context and conversation to writing."
"This is absolutely my jam for teaching college writing. It is so readable and accessible, and it gives student concrete, directly applicable examples. This book has improved my own academic writing, actually."
"If you're in college or grad school or an M.F.A. who would like a quick lesson in academic writing then I strongly suggest this book. It's uncomplicated and quite helpful. If you're in grad school or already teaching, you could possibly skip the examples they site in the back of the book. I actually found those writings quite poor; especially the one about beauty. Using the "moves" the authors suggested, I would have rewritten this article to contain more of their suggestions - but that's just me. So there you have it."
"The new edition is very current, and I enjoyed the reading topics, particularly the ones on globalization. The rhetorical section had some fresh ways to explain different analytical moves in writing, which I am going to try out. I think the templates will help some and hinder others--we'll see how it goes in the classroom."
