Good

I bought this for my English class and surprisingly, I actually enjoyed reading it and I learned a lot. It is a very helpful guide for writing and reading. It uses a lot of interesting references and is clearly up to date. I recommend this book for writers and students.

Excellent Book

Great book that gives very good advice for thinking critically while reading and writing. A big portion of the book is reprints of articles used as examples, but these reprints are good to read as exercises.

Absolutely worth your every second!

This is very comprehensive book for those serious in getting into critical thinking, reading and writing. Mr Sylvan Barnet lived up to his name by patiently guiding the reader through the fundamental of critical thoughts and common fallacies. For those in research writing or working towards being a writer, Mr Sylvan Barnet provides step by step guidance on how to reference your works and highlighted what is really meant by plagarism. There were excerpts from Utopia and Martin Luther King and many others which will definitely enlighten the readers and provide much thought and insight into relooking at our society!
