Theories of Performance

I didn't particularly find this book to be a fascinating read, but I'm glad it was on Amazon...cause I definitely didn't want to pay money or keep it after the class.

This is a really good book. The examples and concepts are easy to understand. I enjoyed this text very much.I only rented it because i'm a broke college student, but if i had the money, i'd totally buy it. :']

good book; good condition

Good

This book is bizarrely unclear and poorly written. She has a tendency to take simple ideas and complicate them using odd metaphors that don't make sense. It reads like a first draft of a freshman's essay where she doesn't quite know what she's trying to say. Occasionally she seems to misunderstand established terms in the field of communication, like God and Devil terms.People usually assume that communication is a throwaway major, that it's a simple and easy way to get a degree. It's not organic chemistry, but it definitely requires a text that puts a little more thought into expressing complicated ideas.There are good things about it, but they're limited to what she has a clear comprehension of. She knows mimesis, poiesis, etc, but go into more complex ideas and she lets you down.She bolds important definitions and words, but for the most part the book is disorganized and not as clear as it should be.
