This book gives you the simple things you need in order to write well. If you have bad memory, like me, you'll need this book in your book shelf.

In order to improve when I need to brainstorm some ideas or how to write in details or less details, this book definitely has helped me. This book covers pretty much everything you might need help on, so if you're stuck, there's always a section to turn to for help! It's a great book to keep near you when you're writing!

A great book for English Composition Students

A great book with easy to understand text for the college freshman composition student. A little humor is tossed in here and there which makes the reading a lot less dry than other composition books. There is a slight feminist tone to some of the english usage instruction, as well as to some of the examples and topic ideas. At times, it seems that Jean Wyrick is trying to toss out some of her personal opinions by using them as examples in the text. However, it is a GREAT book and serves its purpose well!
