Excellent definitive life writing manual recommended by tutors.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Surprisingly, a page turner
*by P***N on 17 November 2013*

I was expecting this book to be dry and technical. Perhaps that's because most how-to books are written that way. I bought it and then put it on a shelf for a while with other books on writing I had not read. Then one day I picked it up thinking that when I spend money on a book I should at least open it. I read most of the sections except on writing sports and a couple of other specialized sections that didn't interest me. However, even thought I didn't particularly want to read about travel writing I perused that section and found it extremely interesting and entertaining. This is because Zinsser puts sparkle and humour in his writing. I enjoyed the examples he used of cliché and dry, sterile writing. As well, in some cases I was happy to find out that some things I'm doing are good, so the focus wasn't entirely on what I was doing wrong. In that sense, the book encouraged me a great deal. I especially enjoyed the section on memoir writing as this is a project of mine. He was able to make it seem less daunting of a project, giving licence to leave stuff out and present only the memories that are significant, vivid, and further the main point in writing the piece. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to improve his/her writing.
