This book sucked Don't waste your time, your money, or your patience. The book is not only muddling and confusing, it is condescending and chaotic. I think the author believes she is being clever by trying to force feed the reader (student)a new way of learning straightforward material. In fact, quite the opposite occurs. The reader is often left confused by her puerile examples and her method. She states that a reader doesn't read their way through the book, they learn their way through it. By the end of this book, I knew less about English than I did before I started. If you have this as your course book for any college course, I pity you. Better make plans to study long and hard because this author isn't going to make anything easy for you. I was hoping for more from this book. What a waste of time and effort. | ||
Ok but... It was alright for the course but it really should have been alot better. The book can be pretty condesending sometimes in the lessons and some of the names used in sentences are over used like Twileen, what a silly name indeed. | ||
A Very Good Book. I consider myself an average Business English writer based less on education and more on experience. This book did help me learn a lot of new concepts and how to utilize them. I still feel quite dazed with the plethora of rules and sugestions as provided in this great book. There are two tings I like about this book: Two things I dislike about this book: | ||
