Title: The Elements of Style
Author: E.B. White/ William Strunk Jr.
Rating: 93 %
Notes: This is a really good book. I was thinking about all the bad grammar in the world,and I stumbled upon 'The Elements of Style' by E.B. White. This wasn't that good, but it really helped with understanding writing and spelling and grammar. Then, I realized that there was a new edition, by William Strunk Jr. This was even better and helped even more. It is useful for three types of people: budding writers who want to write well, people who want to annoy other people by proving their grammar wrong, and people who want to get their grammar right.
Plot Summary: It doesn't really have a plot. The first bit is about what is correct in the English language, then the second part is about 'style' - how to write effectively. It also has a list of words commonly misspelt, and one of words commonly misused.
