Title: Note to Professors: Don't Even Think About It
Review: This book was the basis of a English class I took as a college freshman a couple years back. Perhaps I would have appreciated it more if I was more familiar with the music that was reviewed by the author and his peers. But for a class focusing on discussing rhetoric, ethos, pathos, etc. in selected writings, I wanted to gouge my eyes out. Book was written in such a condesencing, egotistical fashion that I find it hard to believe that the reviewers are considered so distinguished in their field. So to any professors out there who are considering this for their classes, suggest it for enjoyment or optional reading, not required text. Your students will thank you.The only good thing I can say about this book is that I got a fair price for it at buy-back time at the end of the semester.
Is the review positive or negative?
