I borrowed this book from my son and read it several months before I started writing this blog. I thoroughly enjoyed it they way Patricia T. O’Conner provides writing tips in a readable way. This book almost reads like a good novel.
I liked it so much; I recently purchased a hardcover version for my bookshelf and often refer to it for tips. Words Fail Me is not just about grammar and punctuation, O’Conner provides information on the writing process in a humorous way. An excerpt from the inside cover says a great deal:
“We live in the writing-est of times. Never have so many written so much – and so badly. Our words fail us. They don’t do justice to our ideas.”
Even if you don’t have any desire to write, get yourself a copy of Words Fail Me and read it.
