Recenzii

Reliably insightful. Those looking to get the most out of their reading experience and get the pen moving should give this a look.

This is a very interesting, and useful, book. It covers a range of types of writing. ... a worthwhile investment. It's both analytical and readable: two words you don't often find in the same sentence!
