Single best buy !

Reviewed in the United States on December 4, 2014

Verified Purchase

For high school or early college level writers, studying this book may be a single best thing you can do. Read any essay (and then read them all!) from this book slowly, deliberately and analyze it in depth. This is nothing short of a master class ! Note that if you're not inclined to analysis by yourself, it may not work (as well as it did for us). But for the inclined and interested, this book provides the necessary ammunition to break through your writing barriers.

For us, this has been a single best purchase on Amazon. Bar none!

Please Define "NEW" Condition

Reviewed in the United States on August 17, 2010

Verified Purchase

We specifically ordered the copy from this vendor because of the price and "NEW" status. My son's face just sank when he opened the package to find a book with both covers bent, the pages totally flared, and the page edges dirty and some dog eared. I had to use a germicide to clean the cover and an iron to try to flatten the dog eared pages. We then placed the book under an encyclopaedia to try to flatten the flared shape of the book. It feels cleaner, but still looks quite used. I would never order from this vendor again - SHAME ON YOU, MarLass! Lying on the internet is just as wrong as lying to someone's face. If we didn't need the book immediately, I would return it to you. Amazon should drop you like an ugly used book!

Great Essays? Great Comentary?

Reviewed in the United States on August 28, 2010

There are several ways you could look at examining a book of 100 Great Essays. First, you could argue for months over whether these 100 are the absolute best in the world across all time. Are they the best written? The best examples of what essays have been like across the centuries? The best collection that includes a variety of cultural backgrounds? The best to catch the attention of the target audience, which we'll assume is the 18-20 year old new writer?

I realize there is no way any two people could ever come to a consensus on this issue, but I do think Diyanni did a reasonable job coming up with a collection which is interesting to read, that new writers will find inspiring, and that covers a range of time periods and ethnic backgrounds. There are essays by dead white males and by feisty female hispanics. There are serious essays about politics and fun essays about cats vs dogs. Some essays make you think, "this person feels exactly the way I do!" and other essays where you shake your head in disagreement the entire time. Perhaps most importantly, for the vast majority of these essays, you enjoy reading them, and you are drawn into wanting to write essays of your own. If the book is going to do one thing, I think that is a key. It demonstrates a variety of writing styles, all of them are fairly well done, and they inject an enthusiasm into the reader to give it a try.

The brief biographies and commentaries are helpful to place a given essay in its location in history. Knowing that an essay written about the African American experience was created in 1950 rather than 2010 makes a fairly significant difference.

The questions to ponder at the end of each essay are not rocket science. "Do you agree or disagree with the author" is fairly bland. "Write a similar essay" is not something we needed the book to direct us towards. Definitely all of those end-of-essay questions could use some tuning.

Still, for me that is not the great value of the book. The value is that, in one spot, I have a ton of wonderful essays that I can read, enjoy, and draw inspiration from. It's like having a "writing prompts" book chock full of brilliant ideas. I often found myself finishing one essay that had been assigned, and reading right into the next one because it seemed so appealing. My writing creativity was sparked in a variety of ways, and I became familiar with a number of authors who I might not have otherwise heard about.

A great book to enjoy.

I think most text book need to be repriced to fit students' pocket. That's is the reason why I have to look for a used book. And it's turned out to be okay. Not very good but acceptable

The book came in right on time and in perfect condition. The price was absolutely right when it comes to school books.

I got this for my daughter for school and it was great quality,price, and condition. It is especially great if you are interested in essays. She thought it was ok but i liked it. A great buy.

This book was in terrible condition. It was not worth what I paid for the condition. Yes, the material is readable, but that is not a $40 book right there. Bad business.
