“Charming and erudite . . . The wit and insight and clarity he brings . . . is what makes this book such a gem.” —Time.com
 
Why is so much writing so bad, and how can we make it better? Is the English language being corrupted by texting and social media? Do the kids today even care about good writing—and why should we care?

In this entertaining and eminently practical book, the cognitive scientist, dictionary consultant, and New York Times–bestselling author Steven Pinker rethinks the usage guide for the twenty-first century. Using examples of great and gruesome modern prose while avoiding the scolding tone and Spartan tastes of the classic manuals, he shows how the art of writing can be a form of pleasurable mastery and a fascinating intellectual topic in its own right. The Sense of Style is for writers of all kinds, and for readers who are interested in letters and literature and are curious about the ways in which the sciences of mind can illuminate how language works at its best.

网友对The Sense of Style: The Thinking Person's Guide to Writing in the 21st Century的评论

It is like touring a cave. At start you have some high expectations, Steven Pinker, must be good. In the middle, you dare sure what to expect. anymore - new things and old things with fresh perspectives. There are many delightful examples. Often Pinker is with you when your style is somewhat unusual. While still enjoying and exploring, suddenly you have reached the completion, and then, start to recall the experience.

If you want to obtain some cheap advice, maybe other guide books are better. If you enjoy reading and thinking (and perhaps, writing, or psychology, or human communica"rest":"tion), this book may induce you to think further. Unless your are already Steven Pinker."

如果我们的语文写作能从这本书的视角展开，对孩子们是多大的福音。
如果大家都能从这本书（及其前辈）的角度理解写作，现代社会的信息沟通成本一定能大大降低。
书中还时不时闪现Pinker的幽默。读来非常享受。

好朋友推荐非常好的帮助写作的书。值得阅读。
这次是作为给朋友的生日礼物，就是包装上有点小小的破损
