Negative Positive
Title: An extremely useful book on writing for students.
Review: I'm aghast that this invaluable book has received only a single review, and a poor one at that. My high school freshman English class used this book, and I still have my copy a decade and a half later. It's the single most useful book I've read on writing fundamentals, and I recommend it highly to those who are actually interested in learning to write. There has never been any point in trying to achieve a personal style before mastering the fundamentals of logical organization and tight writing.Some of the examples, perhaps, could use a little updating, but the fundamentals of good writing have not changed appreciably since the book was published. I've learned a lot about writing since high school, of course (I now write professionally), but I can't imagine any better book for teaching the basics.
Is the review positive or negative?
