Customer Reviews

Excellent, and nothing quite like it
This book is smart. It is practical and helpful. Besides offering many great ideas on writing coherant paragraphs, it becomes an excellent aid to brainstorming. My only gripe is that there is no bibliography for reference and further study, and no references to recommended paragraphs by other writers. Still, I know of no book quite like this. I'm glad I bought it.

For aspiring authors of all ages & backgrounds
A Writer's Guide To Powerful Paragraphs by Victor C. Pellegrino is a straightforward, easy-to-understand how-to guide to improving the quality of one's writing, one paragraph at a time. Aspiring writers are provided with thirty different but effective ways to organize and write competent paragraphs, including paragraphs focused on chronology, physical or process analysis, classification, enumeration, cause and effect, dialogue, anecdotes, introductions, conclusions, transitions, and a great deal more. Highly recommended and quite "user friendly", A Writer's Guide To Powerful Paragraphs is a superbly organized and presented supplement for aspiring authors of all ages, backgrounds, and experience levels ranging from the high school novice, through community college and university level writing assignments, to professional contract and free-lance authors.

Powerful Paragraphs is helpful tool.
This book is being used by two highschool students in my home. The examples given in the book have been helpful to both students, showing them structure as well as content. I recommend this book as a supplement to any writing course. It is used so frequently, I purchased an additional copy.
