Powerful Paragraphs

Like the other books of The Effective Writing Series, a host of examples awaits the reader. Although this book can be read from start to finish, its merit lies in being a great addition to any writer's reference library.The text does not rely on having a command of grammar or writing terminology. Instead, the reader is given plenty of examples showing different ways paragraphs can be structured for effectiveness. For each example, the author explains the example, then provides more examples for reference. Also, the topic sentence for each paragraph is highlight to help ease understanding.I would highly recommend this book for all students taking a writing course and for all writers who wish to improve their writing.
