Great Book.

I enjoyed reading this book. I will use this book as a resource guide, and reference back when I am writing.

This book is a real keeper! In fact, I'll be keeping it by my desk at work and I'm sure I'll refer to it often whenever I need to check some point of grammar or writing style.

What I love most about the book is that it isn't a huge academic tome. Instead it's easy to read and understand. There were a couple of occasions when I was a bit unsure of a couple of things, but the plentiful examples soon clarify any difficult points and show you have to apply what you've learned into your everyday writing.

This is great for anyone who struggles with questions like whether to use 'who' or 'whom', or is unsure of the difference between words such as 'affect' and 'effect'. There's advice on puncutatuion and grammar, finding the right tone of voice for your audience, and writing in straightforward language. I particularly liked the list of everyday alternative words at the back of the book, which I will refer to when I find myself needing to turn a difficult word into plain English.

Great for anyone at work, or students, or anyone who writes anything really!
