Title: Embarrassingly awful text
Review: I had the displeasure of teaching out of this textbook (my boss, the author, required its purchase by every Freshman English student at the university), and it's disgracefully inept. Laden with grammatical errors and indulging in bizarre pedagogy (oxymorons as the cornerstone of all good writing? Why not symbolism or juxtaposition?), this text was rightfully scorned by students. The less I used it, the higher my student evals.
Is the review positive or negative?
