Summary: I disagree when you say that we are not alll in agreement
Comment: This book has some good pointers and provides good strategies for giving your opponents the biggest rhetorical butt-kicking of their life, but their methodology is far too rigid. "Be gracious to your opponent" they say and "Make concessions." I have always been a fan of agressive arguing and find the arguing style the professors who wrote this book to be a little too passive. But I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy using this book for class. It may have proposed an largely ineffective way to write persuasive essays, but it was at least very informative about what it had to say. Most of the essays they include as examples of argument stlyes are very well written. While I reccommend this book for your writing classes, I must warn you not to take the text of this book as rigid dogma meant to define how all papers should be written. Go with what your gut feeling tells you, and you will shine.
