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.

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.

College required
This is a good for college students to read. It has different stories to read. I am using this for my Literature class. I do recognize some authors from other books.

Be careful, pages are too thin.
Definitely does the job. It saved me from paying $90 at my campus bookstore, the only thing I don't like about it is that the pages are too thin. I think they are as thin as tracing paper, so you really have to take care of it very well otherwise you can easily rip off one page by just turning to the next one. Compared to the ones from my campus bookstore, they are way thinner. Just be careful when turning to the next page.

Great Study Tool
I was required to order this book for an online writing class. I was required to do daily readings out of this book. Let me tell you they were all wonderful. The back of the book is also filled with helpful information to help you write essays. I would definitely recommend this book, even if it's not required for your course.

The condition of the book
The book is all sorts of damaged, the cover is particularly bad. I rented it for school and considering it’s still good enough to read I’ll be keeping it until my class ends. Also this documents that this is the condition the book was in when received.
