### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ More valuable than Strunk and White
*by W***T on March 5, 2001*

This little-known gem is the very best American book on writing and grammar. I have found it immensely valuable over an 18-year career as newspaper reporter, magazine editor, columnist and technical writer. Williams teaches you to write clearly and directly, to eliminate the bureaucratic bull and to make your sentences sing. When I was a cub reporter, I would do a few of his exercises in my head each morning as I warmed up the car. By the time I had finished the book, I could cut through the deadly jargon of school committee babble and social service double-talk and put my reports in words that people could read without slipping into a coma. The most amazing thing about this book is that it isn't famous in the writing community. If you care about your writing, buy it -- you can't go wrong.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best little book on writing there is.

Best little book on writing there is.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Wow! But . . . .
*by D***K on March 14, 2002*

I dislike writing disparagingly of a book that has much to commend it. Those looking for a book to help formulate and construct an argument, idea, or story will NOT find it here. This book, by the author's admission, presupposes an existent text that needs rewriting... For authors wanting to make their existent manuscripts more alive and active, Williams' book makes a nice complement.The author observes that his book is meant to help the writer "rewrite" what is already written with the aid of numerous amorphous rules. Such things as writing in the present tense and in active form are pervasively recommended. The use of clauses, including restrictive and non-restrictive clauses, helps the author amend, clarify, and refine. All these admonitions are generally useful. Indeed, many of his suggestions may help writers overcome "writer's block," and get the story underway. Whenever I encounter a mental block, I have found this book useful in penetrating the veil of confusion and obfuscation.But Williams' approach to grammar and syntax is often flippant. While his advice to avoid nominalizations is to be approved, some kinds of writing simply cannot avoid it without diminuition of either the argument or the author or both. Another striking example of Williams' problem is the use of commas in serializations: Strunk and White, together with every dictionary containing a section on the use of commas, recommends the use of a comma after a serial of elements and before the conjunction; Williams thinks this rule unnecessary. The ultimate comma is optional. Like so many of Williams' opinions, rules are merely options, left to the author's discretion in their use. BUNK! Grammatical and syntactical devices, like rewriting, go to the very heart of clarity and elegance. The breach of protocols (with his examples by great writers) does not give license to every future writer to do likewise. Good grammar and syntax are every bit as important to clarity and grace, as are Williams' insistence to write actively and avoid the passive.
