I hear you can't judge a book by its cover; which is a very accurate statement when referring to a book entitled "They say/I Say" by Geral Graff and Cathey Birkenstein. The book's cover page is brightly colored and grabs the attention of a reader, but once you open it the book becomes a totally different story. I have to fight myself to finish each page. I mean the templates are helpful, but the book is highly disappointing and fails to engage the reader.  My Teacher is usually more lively and exciting; that's why i don't understand why she would punish us by assigning this book.
