• 100 Ways To Improve Your Writing (mentor)
20 July, 2009
Overall, this is a good book worth the money. If you are looking for quick-and-easy tips to improve your rudimentary writing, it's a good choice. If you are looking to improve the dimension of your writing, this book will disappoint you.

• 100 Tips, Not Ways, To Improve Your Writing.
22 May, 2009
Avoid at all cost!
Don't bother paying 7$ for this book.
This book will only show you tips on how to become a better writer. I mean it's all good and dandy to have some writing tips, but I prefer to have concrete examples, explanations, and methods to help me become a better writer. Also, most of these "ways" are common sense to any decent writer.
Don't waste you money like I did, avoid 100 ways to improve your writing.

"101 habits..." by McAleer is a more foundational resource and a good alternative for people at this earlier level. Just paging through on the shelf it is apparent that this book has limited concrete application regarding mechanics (on that subject "Self Editing for Fiction Writers" or "Write Tight" are far better and probably give 100 total tips or more apiece). Even those examples contained in this pocket-sized guide that are memorable aren't high quality. At its worst moments, it's a vapid textbook. Some of the funny examples cited in other reviews are memorable.
But, I've read start to finish three times and each time walked away unsatisfied and frustrated. There are much better (I mean as far as objective quality/experience level of the authors) and more highly-rated guides. I strongly suggest physically paging through before purchasing or reading the reviews of alternatives first.

This might be useful for someone who has very little experience in writing and needs to be spoon-fed some basics. It is not at all useful to someone who has even a moderate level of writing experience. If it wasn't a Kindle version, my copy would be going to the Salvation Army with my next donation.

• Pretty Useless
03 October, 2009
I bought this book based on the reviews here and I was quite dissapointed. Spend your money on something else. This one is quite useless and insignicant.
