Let me start with (what I consider to be) the negative points, first. The first 20% and the last 10% of this book is just inspiration. I have noticed this page-filling tactic by many authors in the self-help genre. Maybe some people might need all that inspiration, but when I have already decided to read a book, I would expect the author to come straight to the point.This book is quite short. But that should be fine for the price people pay for it, I guess. Some English errors pointed out in this book are very basic.Now let us look at the positive points: 70% of this book is good, depending on which stage of your writing career you are in. As I said, some errors were very basic, but some of them were very useful. For example, I didn't know that ABCs and ABC's are used in different contexts. I also didn't know that '70s is right and 70's is wrong. I found such pointers/tips, quite useful.'The questions for finding your writing voice' section made me think about many aspects of my writing that I generally overlook. I greatly appreciate that section, but I would request the author to expand on the possible answers and the significance of each question/answer. That will make this book more useful.
