Title: Trash
Review: This book is beyond worthless. Some of the selected readings are good, but the book itself is riddled with typos and misspellings. Further, whoever wrote the questions, comments and definitions in this book simply didn't take their job seriously. For example, in one of the essays ("Extremely Cool" by A.J. Jacobs [not a good essay]), the author refers to "street lugers". The editor felt that the word "luger" needed to be defined for students, so if you follow up on it, you'll find a definition that reads: "Luger: a semi-automatic German pistol." Honestly, that's just the tip of the iceberg. It should be considered a crime to force students to pay money for this worthless piece of trash. If you want to use a reading from this book, I suggest going to the source and photocopying; don't encourage the people who concocted this monstrosity by handing them more money.
