1: Decent, if you like writing....
I bought this book for my English class, but have never actually read it. Does have some good stories and writing tips, but not actually useful. Okay if you're a writer. Buy the St. Martin's handbook....way more useful.

2: A must have for anyone who needs to write an effective essay!
This simply stated reference book gives details in concise writing techniques that I used from the first time I opened the book! My collegiate career would have been easier if I'd had this before I became a senior - what an awesome find - recommended by a peer.

3: Great Resource
I am in the process of writing my dissertation and this book has been a great help in improving both the flow of my argument and the style of my writing. Simple measures to avoid using redundant phrases such as, "According to___________" which get boring after awhile. I highly reccomend it to writers at all levels.

4: ON TARGET
I was amazed seeing this book. It gets to the heart of making sharp, well-supported essays. No fooling around. If my students would make these moves, they'd be way out in front. As teachers, our only challenge is finding ways to have students practice these techniques.
[P.S. - my book (noted) shows effective forms for quoting in its final essay.]
