Review: This is an easy read packed with great information on rhetoric. Ideal for a beginner.
Review: Put simply, if you want to take your writing to the next level, you must read (and reread) this book. The author has brought together the most common, and some not so common, figures of speech and literary devices to enable the reader to understand them and see how they have been utilized by writers, great and small (no merism intended), to give their writings depth, meaning, and whimsy. We all sense it when we read interesting and arresting (no alliteration intended) literature. But we often don't know why the passage, or poem, or prose captures and captivates us. Well, this book will tell you why and you will be dazzled and delighted. It will also help you in your interpretation of literature. Someone has said, "you don't know what a text means, until you know how it means." In other words, meaning is locked up in the way the text has been put together in terms of its grammar, syntax, and literary artistry. Once you understand the "how" of its construction, the meaning appears. This book will show you the "how" of the text's construction. The author has a great style of writing that always keeps your interest and he fills his pages with numerous examples of the figure or device he is describing. So, hurry and get this book. It will make you a better writer and a better reader - two goals for the price of one.
