“One of the best books I've read about the actual execution of putting words together in writing. It includes tips on eliminating "weakeners" (adverbs and adjectives) and is chock-full of advice about other ways to make your writing the best it can be by cutting the fat. This book is indispensable for anyone interested in writing or editing professionally. The only drawback is that sometimes Provost uses crude illustrations and language. Otherwise, it's one of the most helpful books on writing I've read.”
