This review is from: Kaplan Writing Power, Second Edition: Empower Yourself! Writing Power for the Real World (Kaplan Power Books) (Paperback)

I was lucky to find this book to improve upon my skills for GRE's analytical writing section (introduced as of october 2002). The author describes effective writing techniques by recommending a set of rules & showing instances of each of them in action. The examples provided would be most useful to a reader because it shows what to avoid & how to rewrite sentences more effectively.
