Great book. I used this book in my intro to college writing course and found it fascinating. It teaches you all the things you learned way back in elementary school, as well as some things about composition, how to link paragraphs together and how to choose powerful words. I recommend to anyone needing a refresher or wanting to know more about how to write with emphasis.
