The Elements of Style

Book Review by: Goodlin1975    

Original Author: William Strunk Jr.:E.B. White
This book explores the power of writing. An abundance of information in such a small casing. The style of writing and word
usage are important tools to attract readers and continue to retain their interest. Model sentences, structures and the use of prose writing are included in this marvelous piece of literature. The authors'' didn''t hold back when they constructed the way you should approach writing. Words and phrases that should and shouldn''t be used are contained from within. A mention of orthodox spelling, criticism and avoiding fancy words are strictly noted. Writing should be simple, clever and an easy process. This book is a must have for any writer and not limited to any one group. All college students should own a copy to help alleviate any discomfort that plagues their writing capabilities. Writing for style is proven in 105 pages of fluid examples, instructions and directions. This book is a blueprint that demands the uttermost respect in the skill of writing.
