Yana G. Uretskaya (USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Crisp: Fat-Free Writing: Business Writing for the Information Age (Crisp Fifty-Minute Series) (Paperback)

This is a very interesting book. I took a lot of tests and compared with author's suggested responses to the exercises. It was very surprised. I tried to think the way of author's suggestion, so I cut in half or more my writing. It was really so difficult, but I was impressed. The book is not annoying, like many textbooks. I would say that I obtained some knowledge of studying this book. I think my writing is gradually getting much less of fat and more precise.
Thank author Carol Andrus for the wonderful book.
Yana.
