Title: Amusing Potboiler
Review: Learn to eliminate excess verbiage, and continue learning the English language and other topics also.There, I have saved you the price of this book. As others have pointed out, the writer is a coach or cheerleader and as such may be quite effective. However, I got the impression he was a bit of a hack himself, in a position for many years such that he was paid whether he wrote well or badly. I suspect those days are gone.I lost most of my confidence in him gradually except when he began to enthuse about his "Webster's Dictionary" which I know as a generic term, i.e., nearly useless. There is no "Webster's" company, it has become a generic term for a large number of INFERIOR dictionaries. It is bad advice, and that is when I lost the big chunk of any remaining confidence in the value of his book.Much of it would be useful, in lieu of any other instruction, for a high school student or college freshman. There are better books to recommend, however.
