Negative Positive
Title: Clean book
Review: Of one of many books on this subject, there's nothing really new here-but Ann does attempt to at least be brief, which the majority of other books are not. As an instructor of manuscript writing at a major medical school, I find, however, that the advice in this book does not really hit at the heart of the problems most inexperienced authors face, and sadly, few of them will learn from this book. I'm somehow not surprised that one reviewer of this text, who herself is an instructor of writing at Yale, writes phrases like "writing up ... results". The fact is, the majority of instruction for writing on this subject is sadly uninformative.
Is the review positive or negative?
