 Save the Trees Sep 29, 2007
By Geoffrey Thomas Roche
"GTR"
Look up the criteria for academic essay grading at any university in the world, and you see the same qualities demanded: good research, demonstration of a good understanding of the material, neutral academic tone, and cogent argumentation. John Langan's "College Writing Skills" shows almost no guidance in how to get these qualities down, and there is not a single good example of sound academic writing in the book. Instead we get puff- pieces and moronic, juvenile trash like the following:
"When Mom and Dad and your sisters and brothers begin to annoy you, harmless revenge may be just the way to make them quiete [sic] down for a while... Just before the meal, throw a handful of raisins into the food... clamp your hand over your mouth and begin to make odd noises. When they ask you what the matter is, point to a raisin and yell, Bugs [sic]. Dumping the food in the [waste] disposal, the car will head quickly for mcdonalds[sic]." (p.145 6th Edition). Another sample student essay recommends that one flirt with the professor for an A (p.150, "How to Con an Instructor") and yet another describes the author's assault on a senior citizen; the tone suggests self- serving banalities rather than actual remorse ("maybe the old man's pain, in some terrible way, had a purpose").
Besides the reading samples, the sheer size of the book is outrageous at 500 pages. As a style guide, the text itself is bloated and entire pages are entirely redundant to the point the author is making. I fail to see why a book on how to write clearly should be any longer than Strunk and White. Mcgraw- Hill: shame on you. Find an author who has actually written something other than a writing guide to write your next writing guide. Teaching writing is a drag enough without having to find some justification to not simply throw such dross in the dustbin.

 No answer keys for chapter reviews. Sep 28, 2011
By VirtualValerie
In the book there are very nice review quizzes. The huge problem is I don't have anyway to know if I am answering them correctly since there is no answer key. To get the answers, I would have to purchase the teachers edition. I've been out of school for awhile, but I'm pretty sure the books use to have the answers in the back, so you could check your work. This is only a problem if you aren't being instructor led. If you have a teacher, you can ask them if you're doing it right. If you aren't so lucky, and you're doing college online with no instructor interaction this presents a problem.

Easy to Understand Nov 11, 2011
By ethan
For those of us who have a hard time comprehending writing this book makes it easy. John breaks the writing down in to easy to follow steps and he uses examples and practice tests that help you comprehend the lessons. Definitely a book worth getting if you want to further your writing career.
Lots of review and practice activities Mar 31, 2011
By ralambert
I purchased this textbook for ENG 101 which I am taking through StraighterLine. I didn't care about the condition that the book was in as long as it was cheap. I bought a "used-acceptable" book for $9. When it arrived I was shocked at the condition... other than a few bent pages and highlighting the book was perfect! Since my course was online, I really enjoyed all the review and practice activities in this book.
