Spunk and Bite, by Arthur Plotnik

title SPUNK & BITE
 
author ARTHUR PLOTNIK

[Nonfiction] A writer's guide to punchier, more engaging language.



 
 
This book encourages a more flexible take on writing than as espoused in Strunk & White's Elements of Style. It was an exceedingly pleasurable read, both witty and inspiring. I highly recommend it for anyone looking to improve their writing :) 

It also includes a list of good references, such as where to find little-known, specific vocabulary (ever wonder what that little indent between your nose and upper lip is called?). I need to get me a descriptionary, like, yesterday.

A nice breezy read and yet very informative. It gets a:

~5/5~
