## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A must-have for any writer.
*by L***R on 27 September 2010*

An excellent book for any writer to have in their reference library.Small but powerful. In the case of this book, less is most definitely more.The information it presents is in small, bite sized chunks, easy to understand and even easier to digest. It answers all you literature questions, punctuation, phrasing, syntax, sentence structure, etc. It's just invaluableThis book was recommended to me by a fellow author and I can't thank him enough for such excellent advice.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A useful tool for writers - recommended by Stephen King
*by D***I on 10 June 2015*

This is a concise and helpful book designed to eliminate clumsy and incorrect usage of English.To give a few examples:'Less than ten' is incorrect, whilst 'fewer than ten' is correct.'This man, who is my friend,' is better written 'This man, my friend,''I should like tea' is usually correct, 'I would like tea' is usually not.'Worthwhile' is best avoided altogether - not exactly incorrect but poor style.And so it goes on.I found this book moderately useful, although it does seem to concentrate on American English rather than UK English. Some of the advice doesn't apply on this side of the Atlantic. For example, we tend not to use `most' as an abbreviation of `almost' so we're not going to make the mistake of saying `most everyone' as many Americans do.Some reviewers commented that the kindle version was hard to read, but I didn't have any problems with it. I think it must have been reformatted as a result of some early negative reviews.On the whole this is a great book for anyone who's got into sloppy writing habits (like me). Stephen King recommends it in his book `On Writing' - and recommendations don't get much stronger than that. It's probably fair to summarise the message of the book by saying `express yourself in as few words as possible and be as precise as possible'.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Still, the best writing style book around
*by A***R on 6 January 2023*

It is amazing how much advise one could pack in such a small collateral. Still, the best writing style book around. Period.
