I second that. It has two things that stood out for me: * It clearly discusses "grammar rules" and "personal style", which helped me locate myself in all this. * It doesn't just say "avoid the passive voice", but explains when the passive is needed (it has nothing to do with "when we don't want to say who acts", but a lot with "the sentence is easier to understand when X appears at the beginning of the sentence, the easiest way to achieve that is to use passive voice"). Oh, and a third: it has wonderful exercises. There are many editions of the book (actually there are even three titles, all with "Clarity" and "Style" in them) – it doesn't really matter which one you choose. |
