I enjoyed reading this book. This book will be on my list of language references / reckoners. Sections about hyphens, compound words, prepositions are useful. I'm sure I will reach out for this book on a regular basis.
A book about writing that is inspirational, it is so well written. Integrating these ideas into my writing is not easy. But the results will speak loudly!
Word Up! takes a holistic approach to strong writing, rather than rehashing the same old rules about grammar and punctuation.
