- Great Book
I like the book. The book so small, it look like the pocket. U can bring to somewhere and read when u have free time. The book will help u so much for writing and fix some mistakes in the letter. I think u will enjoy the book.

- Simply Overrated !!!
This is an admirable book, if you want to write like the authors; it is a good book as far as it goes, but does it go far enough? Well, you will find salutary advice to resuscitate your prose, but if you want to be a fine craftsman--that is, if you don't want to beget base prose, you mustn't hang with Trunk and White for too long.
Rating: - Style book
The Elements of Style provides incredible insight into English expression while using simple terms and instructions.
Rating: - Not a handbook, as you might expect
Probably, you need english to be your native language to see the true value of this book. I recommend to read this book, but it is not a handbook. For writing scientific articles you still need other style guides.
