Sentences and Paragraphs: Mastering the Two Most Important Units of Writing (The Elements of Writing Book 8) Kindle Edition

I bought this book for my teenage daughter to help her improve her writing. She likes to write fiction and poetry, but has a hard time writing in an essay format or anything non-fiction. Since that is so important in school, I wanted to find her a book that would really give her the tools she needs to be successful in the academic writing that she does daily. I tried "Eats, Shoots and Leaves" but she couldn't get into it. I was referred to this book by a teacher at her school, and it is an excellent resource. In my opinion, it is much easier to use and much more fun to read than "Eats, Shoots and Leaves". The writing is excellent (not a big surprise considering the source material!), but the real value in this book is that is direct and to the point without being boring. It is really written in a journalistic style that hooks you - but also teaches you. If you are looking for a good tool to improve your writing, especially your non-fiction or essay writing, this is truly the book for you. I would recommend this to students in high school and up as well as adults. Truth be told, as I went through this with my daughter, I found that there were tips in the book that I benefitted from!

This was the one I wanted. This is a great book. It slowed me down and focused on my sentences. It changed my writing. It gave me more to write about, all with this one theory. This one is the crowning grace of what you can learn in a short book and is concise and a lazy, nighttime read. It does repeat some of the other stuff said in the other books. Give it a go if you don't mind because it may help depending on if you know what it tells!!!!!

I always needed writing in my professional life. This is not the first book I read on the subject. Although I am considered efficient in putting my thougths into paper, I found this one particularly useful. Fortunately, I was writing an important appeal while I read it and started applying some of the rules imediatelly.I recommend it for lawyers, students, teachers and everyone who writes, either for pleasure or professionally.Congrats to the author.

This is a very good book to get you interested in writing better. I recommend it. There are many other books like this, and I cannot say that there is a best one. It is easy reading and the subject is covered nicely.

Teaching ESL students how to write sentences and paragraphs this is the book. If you are looking for a college writing paragraph structure or any thing related, this is not the book. Very Basic.

I love the way that the author presents the content. In this book Charles explains the pricipal ideas of writing as he say, with power. Each sentence invites the reader stay reading. In conclusion excellent book.

The information in the book is great. I can’t wait to get my class started writing stronger sentences and paragraphs. I should have stopped right after the chapter on correcting sentences because the rest of the book is all about praising the author. It comes across as self aggrandizement.

Enjoy the golde rules, which are hands-on, applicable, and simple to understand

The book does not meet my expectation.It does not truly guide how to write a paragraph.It only explains what a best paragraph is.

Very good

I have some good takeaways from this book, namely when it comes to the literature review process. In particular I was intrigued by Euchner's view that the middle of a sentence is not necessary as the start and end of a sentence holds the most weight and reflect the meaning of the overall sentence.

The book covers what I needed at this time and that's how to write my paragraghs one sentence at a time. Yes, I would recommend for this reason.
