LaRocque's new book is the result of a lifetime spent as a journalist and writing educator. This book contains 25 chapters in three sections. The first section spells out a dozen essential guidelines to good writing, from the importance of short sentences to the value of using a conversational tone. Section Two teaches the reader how to tell a story -- how to build suspense, how to effectively describe things, how to use literary devices. Section Three is a concise handbook on writing mechanics, such as grammar, usage, punctuation and style. Each section is loaded with illustrative examples of great non-fiction writing, and LaRocque's gentle humour makes reading a pleasure. This is LaRocque's gift to the writing world -- it is destined to become a classic.

讲的是英文写作,但原则性的东西也适用于中文写作。
评分Practical
评分万维钢推荐,讲的东西很受用,这几年的写作一直都受益于这本书,感觉比那本著名的 风格感觉 还要好,唯一不足就是车轱辘话,但可以理解
评分Simple but elegant. 易读且实用的英文写作指导书,解答了一直以来的很多困扰,值得反复精度。
评分很棒的寫作書。有30%是關於寫技術方面,但可惜只是以guideline寫得比較簡短,要看詳細的如何構造句子段落等還是推薦Style。其他部份有講文風,有講如何創作,最棒就是破解了很多寫作的迷思。很難記筆記的一本書,基本上所有的內容都有用,是像How to Read a Book一樣要經常拿出來查閱的工具書。
