Review: This is a really good Literature Book - This Book was required for one of my writing classes. It is comprised of poems, shorts stories, etc.. I rented the book, but wished I would have bought it. I enjoyed several short stories in the book. It also has sections about critical thinking, analyzing texts, citations, etc. The only thing I did not like about the book, was it's physical dimensions, and the size of the print was on the small side for me.
Review: Beat Up - For the price of 14.99 for the semester vs. 126.00 it was worth it. The only downside is that the book is extremely used and marked up with highlighter.
