Summary: Very insightful.
Comment: This book is a good read and offers some solid advice. It doesn't teach writing, but rather offers
tips to keep in mind while writing. I feel that some parts of the book are hypocritical, especially
when Zinsser uses some tougher vocabulary, but you cannot expect a teacher, writer, and editor to
write a book in "see spot run" style, which is what I'm discovering to be the basis of the negative
reviews. I don't feel the book offers enough methods to improve writing, especially when it comes to
how to reduce clutter. In order to follow the tips and advices Zinsser offers, you have to think and
word hard. For $14.95 or less, this book is definitely worth it. This book is easy to understand
(even if you're a high school student), with an overall simple, yet unique language and style. The
insight it offers is priceless regardless of what profession you are in. Read it, enjoy it, remember
it! =]

Summary: the definitive writing text
Comment: Whether you are an amateur or professional writer, this book is a must. If you buy only one book on
writing, make it On Writing Well. It is a treasure trove. I learned something on every page, and I
have been writing professionally for more than 25 years.

Comment: If you're a writer and you don't own this book, you're not doing your craft any justice. In fact,
everyone should own this book. Zinsser has put together the ultimate guide to writing in
simple-to-understand form.
