It helped me back then in college. It helps me now when I have to teach writing.

[Michael Bayliss]

This book is one of the best guides for writing clear, concise, coherent and cohesive English, Academic or otherwise. It is useful for both teachers and students. The information is presented logically and clearly.
The summaries at the back are especially helpful for students and can work as a checklist for their writing.
I recommend this book to everyone and it is even useful for high school students.

[Sannie Hald]

Written for stupid people. Should not be used at university level - more high school aimed... (told my teacher this!)

[Earl Grey Tea]

This was a nice book to review writing skills, even though I have finished their college years of writing essays. There were a lot of pieces of information in this book about academic writing that I knew how to do, but didn't know exactly how to explain.

There are a lot of practice exercises in here that would be good for an ESL student to try. As for a native speaker, the exercises probably aren't that much of a challenge, though a practicing a couple of questions do provide a quick refresher.

It's a perfect book to either learn how to write more polished and varietal or brush up on certain elements.

[Heyyawn]

Useful for people who use English as a second language to learn academic writing.

[Mohammad Aboomar]

A great book to anchor writing habits and introduce some variation into sentence and paragraph structure!

[Trần Quỳnh]

it is inrteresting for me

[Wren]

Really enjoyed the structure and progression into writing. A good balance of pragmatics, motivations of the author, and and scope of influence and purpose.

[Anni]

I hated it. There are too many excercises in this book. I felt like a child in the first grade while reading it. But the theory in the book is good and I've learned from it, which is always something :).

[Ghada]

As a reference for beginners in academic writing, this book is excellent. I did not even finish it, however, because I studied only certain kinds of essays this year. I would strongly recommend it to writing beginners.

[Lunar Star]
