The Complete Idiot's Guide to Writing Well, 2008-12-17
I thought that this book is a good summary of the requirements necessary to become a good writer. It is simply written, but I think it could elaborate more on the topics. Also, I felt the humor was a little strange. I think that this could be a good start for those interested in learning how to write better.

Good book, 2008-04-17
I think it has some good info for a writer and especially for a novice. Read reviews and take a look at the content which is usually offered here on amazon or even at book store read the back cover and page through to see if it will meet you needs. I have been a writer for 23 years so I like to see what others preach and what they have as tips and with every book I have picked up something.

Good Book on Writing!!!, 2006-12-21
This book is one of the best writing books I owned. It was writen in a easy-to-follow way that you just don't want to stop reading it. I highly recommend it to anyone who are bored by other writing books.

Good Book on Writing Well, 2006-12-04
A very good book, but not a great book on writing style and how to write well (or at least better than before you read the book). Covers the basics of tone, grammar, and structure, but lacking in good examples. Only one example of a passive vs. active sentence was given, and the lone example wasn't very clear. Still, a good writing style guide.

Fairly good basic text on the rules of writing, 2006-03-04
This book presented the material clearly and simply and didn't get bogged down with unnecessary details. The author's chatty tone and attempts at humor gets a bit tired, and the organization jumps around a bit. But overall it is a good reference to have and, once you've gone through it, you are clear about the elements of good writing.
