I ordered this book for my English 103 class. Even though it was a required text, the topics covered in here are very enjoyable to read about and discuss. Everything from religion, rage, sports, and gun control is addressed from many different view point. I would definitely recommend getting this book if you have an interest in current topics of society.

This book is so disgusting. If I could leave a zero I would. It has something spilled all over the book and the pages are all stuck together. I hope this can be made right. Not to mention it has a huge rental sticker across the front and it is not a rental. I can't believe it said in "good" condition. I can't even use it!!!!
