One of the better writing guides I've read, this book starts small (punctuation and sentence structure) and gradually moves onto the "big picture" parts of writing (POV choices and pacing).
I really appreciated Le Guin's examples as well as her exercises - some of which we completed for my class. While some of her tips are hardly novel ideas, others are incredibly helpful, and I plan to utilize them in my own writing.
A great guide for beginning writers looking for a book that covers the basics in a short yet entertaining format.
