Review

'Read this book, and make sure your students do ...' British Journal of Psychiatry '... enough people bought the first edition to make the publishers think that a second one was profitable, and that means that Goodman and Edwards must be helping a lot of people.' The Author 'It is not the first, but in my opinion the best book in this field.' Zoltan Szabo, MD PhD Consultant Anesthetist, University Hospital in Linkoping, Sweden

4.0 out of 5 stars Extremely useful, and you don't have to actually be a medical writer, March 2, 2007
It gets off to a good start, albeit a somewhat wordy one, about the value of clear thinking and clear writing. This is followed by lists of misspelled words, misused words, unnecessary words, imprecise words... Get the idea? Since I don't suffer from any of these symptoms, an overlong list of treatments had the unintended effect of curing my insomnia.

I apologize to the authors, whose effort is to be commended, but I don't recommend reading this cover-to-cover any more than I would recommend reading an encyclopedia or dictionary that way. Dip in as needed to save yourself hours of Googling, perhaps. I will, however, use what they had to say about Watson and Crick, who wrote about their Nobel-winning research on the nature of DNA with stunning simplicity and clarity.
