1.0 out of 5 stars Not a good buy, February 24, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Writing Smart: The Essential Basics of Good Writing (The Princeton Review) (Paperback)
I think this book does not fulfil its promises. In fact, it is way beneath the level of graduates, to whom this book is also targeted at. The advice given is too shallow and general, and does not point out the specifics of good writing. Examples are too few in number and insubstantial in content, and though they may occassionally succeed at being a little funny, are not desirable examples that would enlighten readers on what a "smart" piece of writing would be like. Overall, this is a disappointment, and way below expectations. Princeton Review should be embarassed to have published such a piece.

A Kid's Review
This review is from: Writing Smart: The Essential Basics of Good Writing (The Princeton Review) (Paperback)
An excellent book. After reading this book I passed tests with sky-high results. This book assists the learner in most basic and deepest of writing. Completed as a reference book. Do not read it as a novel. With unparalled consturction, this book will improve advance your grades.
