Review of 'The Elements of Style' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

Ce livre est particulièrement court, moins de 100 pages, et est souvent cité comme une référence par les écrivains anglo-saxons, qu'ils soient amateurs ou professionnels.

J'ai trouvé sa lecture plutôt intéressante et instructive, même si une partie des leçons ne s'applique qu'à la langue anglaise. Il y a cependant de nombreux éléments intéressants pour tous, quelle que soit la langue dans laquelle nous écrivons.

Je n'irai donc pas jusqu’à dire qu'il s'agit une référence indispensable, à moins d'écrire principalement en anglais, mais c'est tout de même un livre instructif avec quelques règles et conseils qu'il peut être bon de rappeler.
