Ruben –
Yes. This is a very good book for anyone who wants to write anything.
Of course, you can break any rule when you are writing. But I believe that is more effective when you know the rule you are breaking, and you know why you are breaking it.
No matter if you are writing a high school book report or a novel, familiarity with these old fashioned guide to writing can be helpful.
I recommend it for any writer’s reference shelf.
