review 1: One of the best books on writing (in particular : sentence building) I've ever read.Not only are the chapters short and informative, the author also packs a humorous punch.I chuckled along the reading ride. This book is for you if :you want to get a good, print-worthy grasp of writing you want to craft effective sentencesmake your writing make fun to read and understandWhether you're blog writer, journalist, or author, this book is for anyone who wantsto craft kick-ass sentences.Highly recommended.
review 2: Honestly, I didn't know what a verb was until studying a foreign language (damned late 1960's "I'm OK, you're OK" elementary educational experiments) so the whole issue of speaking and writing grammatically passed me by when it would have been painless to l... moreearn it. Argh. Fortunately, one woman with a good grip on the gnarly weirdness of English and a compassion for the accrued errors in common parlance has weighed in to help. I voluntarily took myself to my college's Center for Academic Assistance to learn many of the lessons in this book, but not all of them stuck so I am thrilled to have a great, concise generously-illustrated guide to grammar. Of some of the mistakes discussed, I said to myself, 'I knew THAT.' While reading too many others I'm ashamed to say I thought, 'What the hell is wrong with that?' Short of having a grammar nazi review every piece of your writing and explain your own personal grammar problems, this is pretty darn wonderful.I will enjoy reviewing this to brush up my English. Thank you, Ms. Casagrande. I owe you an apple. less
