review 1: Having ordery and structured sentences are indicative of an orderly and structured mind. I don't know about you, but I have a hard time remembering all the rules of written and spoken English taught in high school. This little book is a great tool to keep many of those rules at the forefront.Yes, some of the rules seem rather dated, the use of which would make you sound more like a Victorian-era English teacher thn an educated middle American. None the less, the theories and principles found in these pages are priceless, and if used properly, are sure to reward the reader with a confident presence and an attentive audience.
review 2: If you merely read chapter 10 of this book, that alone will give reason for why i gave it 5 stars. The first three or four chapt... moreers are forgetable and can be skipped. It only tells of the grammar lessons everyone learned in elementary school. Letter writing was so much more dignified back when Devlin wrote this book. He gives great example sentences and lots of tips that I find useful today. A lot of the suggestions are outdated, but instead of being useless they just show how far the craft has fallen in the last century. less
