5.0 out of 5 stars good writing resource, September 26, 2007
There are a lot of books out there that tell you how to write, some are inspirational, others teach grammar. This book mixes the two to emphasize proper usage of sentence structure and linguistics to write the strongest prose. The book also centers on revision to ensure better, polished writing.
