 Barron's AP Eng Lang and Comp June 1, 2010
Thomas D. Sutton
Not only did I get exactly what I ordered for a fairly cheap price, I also got it EARLIER than the expected arrival date with FREE shipping. Amazon is a great company and I would recommend it for any book needs. Thanks again!!

This is a book that my son needed for school. The only problem I had was it took a long time to receive. I had to go out and try to purchase one for him before it arrived of course locally I couldn't get one because all the kids needed them and there wasn't any to buy.

I am a parent with a high school junior taking the AP English Lang class...I do have a background in Rhetoric, just so you know where I'm coming from. This product is among the best. It has a "fair" amount of review material (some similar products have none) that can be used to supplement what is done in the classroom, and has an excellent selection of "test" material (literature from which the multiple choice questions come, and excellent essay sections as well). The problem with all of these AP Language review texts is that they all cover different concepts. It's good to use Barron's along with "5 Easy Steps to a 5" (or something like that) and/or Kaplan's. If I could only select one, I'd go with Barron's.

I took the AP last week and think that I did well. This book is not the greatest content wise, but I feel that the practice exams are unmatched and the sample essay prompts really helped me know what to expect and how to form a decent essay.
 not necessary May 25, 2010

I'm not saying this book wouldn't be helpful, I'm just saying that it's not really needed. Most of the information is on either writing essays or the full-length practice exams. For the essays, practice makes perfect, and as for the exams, you can find those online for less money.
