Good Book on Writing Well
4 Dec 2006
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
A very good book, but not a great book on writing style and how to write well (or at least better than before you read the book). Covers the basics of tone, grammar, and structure, but lacking in good examples. Only one example of a passive vs. active sentence was given, and the lone example wasn't very clear. Still, a good writing style guide.

Fairly good basic text on the rules of writing
3 Mar 2006
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book presented the material clearly and simply and didn't get bogged down with unnecessary details. The author's chatty tone and attempts at humor gets a bit tired, and the organization jumps around a bit. But overall it is a good reference to have and, once you've gone through it, you are clear about the elements of good writing.

Good Book on Writing!!!
21 Dec 2006
Format:Paperback
This book is one of the best writing books I owned. It was writen in a easy-to-follow way that you just don't want to stop reading it. I highly recommend it to anyone who are bored by other writing books.
