Summary: An excellent writing guide
Comment: I first purchased this product from Amazon for an English class at the local community college, and received it two weeks before class started. While some reviewers here have complained about the personal antecdotes, I found those to be the most helpful. Zinsser used his own real life examples on writing styles, as well as stressing how un-glamorous the writer's life actually is, especially if being a writer IS your day job. The book itself was suprisingly small, which worked out great for a student on the go, like myself. But for its deceptively small size, it is crammed full of helpful tips for the would-be writer. And though it is geared more towards the non-fiction writer, much of it could easily be geared toward the fiction writer as well. Now that I am working on my own writing project (for fun, and hopefully, for publishing), this book is becoming highly useful to me once more. This is a must read for any English or Journalism class (Speech students might find it useful as well).

Summary: Good for a liberal arts major
Comment: Zinsser's book is a good review of basic writing but lacks specifics for anything technical. Zinsser should have written two chapters on science writing--one as a novice and one from the vantage point of the obscure scientist. For the low price, it's difficult to complain too much about this book.

Summary: Tools for the Job
Comment: This book on writing is a delight to read and as a bonus your writing skill improve.

"Nobody becomes Tom Wolfe overnight, not even Tom Wolfe."

So the ruse is up, you have to write, rewrite, edit, condense, and rewrite to make your work look effortless.

Zinsser gives you the tools to do it, and entertains too.

Summary: fun to read
Comment: Do you remember your favorite teacher or professor? The one who made you want to learn the subject? This book is like that. It's entertaining. I couldn't put it down.

Summary: Zinsser has Style!
Comment: Wow! On Writing Well The Classic Guide to Writing Nonfiction is a book that should be in every writers/authors library.

The book is easy to read and there is no clutter. As a reader, I want to get to know the author. William Zinsser definitely has a style I will not soon forget!Diabetes Can Be Sweet . . . Once You Bury It
