Though the writing is a bit cheesy at times, this book can be helpful in finding out what it's like to start off as a writer. It also teaches you how to find inspiration for writing just about anywhere.

I used this book in a class on argumentative prose. The book is straight forward and clearly shows an understanding and love of the craft. A good read for any beginning writer or student.

This is a very enjoyable manual for writing and life. I had borrowed this book from my local library so many times, they told me I should buy my own copy. So I did from Paperback Swap. It had been recommended by a published writer friend and my writing group leader.

I read this book junior year in high school in AP Lang. It's charming, honest, and funny. Even though it was required reading, I enjoyed it.
