Review title: Light, and not even fluffy
Product review: This book was a bit of a disappointment. The content itself is light -- if you don't already understand one of the points, there often isn't enough there to help you "get it". The book also flits back and forth between being targeted at business writing and at legal writing, but it never does the transition well, and doesn't really do either one justice.The author also keeps denigrating "jargon", but doesn't distinguish between pretentious language and technical jargon.Finally, the appendices made NO sense to me at all when I got to them. It sounded like the author has some pet peeves or theory that she wanted to put into the book, but couldn't make them fit anywhere else. Now that I've read the Amazon entry for the book, it makes sense -- the author sells traveling writing workshops, and the appendices would seem to be trying to market those, albeit indirectly.
