I've spent over half a year battling with this book, the best writing book I've read so far, and now it comes to an end. "Steps to Writing Well" is an academic book for college students and/or those who seek to improve their writing in either formal and informal occasion. It's crammed with grammars for writing and step-by-step multiple instructions in each chapter ranging from process and casual analysis, compare/contrast, division/classification, argumentation, description, narration, and a few others which I forgot (c'mon it's been half a year). Although I now finished it, it'll still be my reference book if I'm to ask for help next time.

Why is it that textbooks aimed at teaching writing are often so very painful to read?

I am Not A Fan of the all-in-one textbook that combines a writer, grammar, and reader. They try to do too many things and often do none of them very well. This one falls into that trap readily.

This book is a wonderful teaching tool as it provides a simple look at the writing process along with loads of models for different levels of students to learn with. Every edition of this book has been an asset in the Writing I/II courses I've taught over the years.

Was "forced" to read this for a writing class about fifteen years ago. Probably one of the best books on writing still. I recommend this book often.
