I only read a little over 300 pages of this book because I used it for my English Comp. class, but overall it was an okay book :) (Even though I am terrible at writing lol :p) I do remember there being some things I disagreed with though...

This was required reading for an English class. Not a lot of new or revolutionary material here and definitely not one of the better writing guides I have read, but still useful for beginning writers.

Hated this class

Very liberal writing guide. Examples are geared to the liberal writer (Obama, inequality, Obamacare, racism, prejudice, Al Gore, etc.)

So I really didn't read a whole lot of this, but I'm still counting it towards my reading goal because it(and the class) took time away from my reading XD
