Summary: Go beyond clarity
Comment: This book is ideal for a writer who already understands how to make his writing clear but wants to learn how to make his sentences sparkle.
Rating: 5
Summary: Modeled sentence variety
Comment: This book provides many examples of sentence structures that will provide writers with new ideas for making more effective reports, essays, and letters.
The vocabulary is created for the book. Terms such as simple, compound, complex, and compound-complex are mentioned in the introduction, but the author creates new terms to help writers think of sentences in a new way. For example, the author explains "recast" and "conditioned" sentences as variations that can be used to spice things up. The lack of the standard terms does not make this book more difficult.
I would recommend this book to students and writers. The author explains each structure and gives examples. Rather than being read once and putting it away, this book should be kept as a reference. Your writing will improve!
Rating: 5
Summary: Fantastic taxonomy of sentence structure
Comment: This slim and inexpensive volume reviews many effective but under-utilized sentence structures, pointing out the situations in which each is most suitable. You will begin to notice the techniques in everything you read. It's the best guide I've seen for writing-in-the-small.
