This text is concise, clear and very useful. If you need help with creating powerful and persuasive paragrahs, and who doesn't, this book is for you.
For beginners
Rating: 
There are plenty of writing guides available for writers in every stage of their careers. A Writer's Guide to Powerful Paragraphs is definitely one of those how-to guides better suited for beginning writers.
The author models his paragraphs the way I learned all the way back in high school. This is not to say that it's a bad thing, but it is geared more for non-fiction writing of the formal essay variety more than anything else.
More than that, this book's formatting is amateurish at best. Every paragraph in the book has a space between it; no doubt put there in order tom make this little how-to book long enough to able to use perfect binding.
There's really nothing new here. And for a writer looking to strengthen his/her own writing style one might be better off simply reading works from other well-known writers whose style they admire in order to learn more.
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.
