Lots of great information. It's more so a different perspective of the writing process rather than a whole new style of writing, however this new perspective makes it so much easier to draft your ideas. What's great is that it doesn't conflict with any of the other great writing books I've read (see my Read list), it just simplifies and extends my application of them, which is much appreciated.

Excellent. This is a book that belongs on the shelf--right next to the latest editions of The Elements of Style and Merriam Webster's Collegiate Dictionary--of every college freshman.

A useful book for high school students and college freshmen. Generally speaking, the templates are probably most helpful for students who need to sharpen their writing skills; nothing will be particularly groundbreaking for more advanced students.
