On Writing Well has some great quotes and tips for writers. The style is conversational and easy to follow, and the author discusses many useful topics such as word clutter, audience, tone, and point of view. Definitely a book worth getting. I can tell the author knows what he's talking about.

Good Advice on Writing
~ Written on Feb 19, 2010. out of users found this review helpful.

On Writing Well is a wonderful book for those who want to improve their writing. William Zinsser holds the view that writing is a craft that one can learn only through constant practice. One of the best things about this book is that Zinsser takes a dry topic and presents it in an entertaining way.

The book focuses on improving clarity by eliminating clutter in one's writing. Zinsser lists many of the most-common mistakes in writing; this section made me cringe, but reading it has improved my prose.

Zinsser is an opinionated man and that will grate on some readers' nerves. His opinions didn't bother me, except when I thought that he forced them in at the expense of his narrative.

I don't want to clutter my review, so I'll end with a recommendation that you read On Writing Well.

Simple and useful

A well written book (could it be different?) that you can pleasantly read despite of the "tedious" topic
