review 1: Anyone who is serious about writing in any form should read this book. It elevates the consciousness of each aspect of writing without paralyzing the writer. It is a book completely written for the writer and yet is approachable at many levels. I recommended it to colleagues at work each of whom comes at writing from very different backgrounds and experiences. It deserves to be shared and has much to offer.
review 2: A clear, easy-to-read book with good practical advice for writers who want to improve their craft. Starts simple and slowly adds complexity without ever losing its clarity. Works as a good reference and pairs well with Strunk and White's "Elements." Manages to be entertaining on top of that, with loads of examples and some relatively sophistica... moreted analysis of things like verb use, tone, and sentence shape. Probably not the place to go if you're looking for comprehensive analysis, but an awesome place to pick up inspiration and get a solid foundation. less
