1.0 out of 5 stars Poor advice, August 28, 2002

By 

Dr. Vilma S. Funez (Buffalo Grove, Illinois USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: How to Really, Really Write Those Boring Police Reports (Paperback)

Ms. Clark should consider taking a few writing classes herself before publishing her next book. This book is laden with gramatical errors and offers poor advice to remidy common mistakes (i.e. to eliminate the problem of whether to capitalize a word, Ms. Clark advises her readers to write the entire report in caps, "problem solved," as she put it.

In short, if you seek tutelage in your writing deficiencies, this book is not for you!

This review is from: How to Really, Really Write Those Boring Police Reports (Paperback)

How to write those really boring police reports carries over into the world of Security under Homeland Security as well. The reports are always boring and this helps to keep the interest up. well Written and easy to read. I have given copies to two of my supervisors.
