Title: Sounds interesting, but....
Review: I had this book for one of my writing classes. The idea behind seemed interesting and helpful. However, half the time I really had no idea what the author was talking about, and on top of that he rambles about the same thing FOREVER. I ended up skimming the chapters just to get the reading over with. I almost feel like he was more interested in wowing readers with his vocabulary than trying to explain other writers' ideas about style. Things that could take about 10 pages to say, it takes him 30. And by the end of the chapter, you still don't really have any idea what the point was because he never actually tells you. The only good thing about this book was the quotes. So, if you are required to take a class, and this book is what you need for the class, just don't take the class. This book is that bad. Or if you are just buying it because it seems interesting, you've been warned.
Is the review positive or negative?
