3 book titles that confuse me

1.  The Allyn & Bacon Guide to Writing, honestly the only reason it sounds really weird is because Bacon and writing don't go together. I mean Bacon is something you cook and eat for breakfast, not talk to for writing advice. Honestly I want to know who changed that last name durring any form of name change. I wonder if they were hungry.
2. A Long way gone, I feel a long way gone sounds more like Gone with the wind, Though I haven't read this book I have a feeling a long way gone is going to be a long way to go.
3. Tomato Land, before reading this I will confess, sounds like you're going to read a book about talking tomatoes or maybe a story from a picker or farmers perspective. However the book seemed more like a essay. A really long, and over written essay that shouldn't have been required to leave. In fact it was like reading a essay and all you wanted to do is bang your head against the wall because it went on and on and on. Like someone was just adding filler to a point that I don't even know what college freshman read this book all the way threw. I think it's a good thing it's not a "If you don't like it return it money back guaranteed because it's more like "buy this so we can steal your money"
