A gem in disguise!

I added this audiobook to my collection due to it being mandatory assigned reading in an undergrad course on argumentative writing. I can absolutely say I would not have normally added this to my library under other circumstances; however, I am thoroughly enjoying reading along with the physical book as I listen to the narrator. While the book is dry — it is based on academic arguments after all — it does have its doses of humor and reality which make it easier to follow along, and the narration makes it shine, to say the least. I will definitely be enjoying this audiobook, including the chapters which are not mandatory reading.
