Excellent

This is a great book for the wordsmiths. If you love words, you will love this book. It tells you how many ways you can fashion words into your narrative, and some of the things you've been told you shouldn't do, you are going to learn are perfectly all right. If this book doesn't help you come off writing like a poet, nothing will.
