The Shape of Reason: Argumentative Writing in College (3rd Edition)

Summary: Finally- A Proven Sedative in Book Form!
Review: This is the third worst and most boring book I have ever read, after William Doty's "Mythography" and Claire Robertson's "Trouble Showed the Way." And guess what? All these books were required reading- and total stinkers. My teacher thinks Shape of Reason is the best thing since sliced bread, probably only because he was a student of Gage. Not only does the prose make absolutely no sense, I don't agree with his points. If anything, following Gage's advice would probably make you a worse writer. But most likely, you will be reading this for a class, and you won't have the option of saying no. At 45 dollars, this book is a rip-off, too.
