The main thing about the Barron’s writing workbook (in regards to essay, haven’t seen the MC portion yet) is that it assumes you don’t know how to write. It goes over main idea, topic sentence, blahblahblah stuff I learned in 4th grade blahblahblah and THEN gives a fairly good chapter on actual essays. I haven’t tried any of the essays out, but looking at how they structure their essays, it completely contravenes what is said in

in style, tone, examples, and structure.

any opinions?
