review 1: While on the whole I prefer her Quick and Dirty Tips book (which works much better as a reference than this book), I find that the approach this book takes works well to teach you bits of grammar. The problem is that the bits come in no real order which could be frustrating.I find this book works best if you approach it in the way it was intended, one tip at a time, once per day. Trying to read this book straight through will likely make one annoyed since the tips have no real structure. For a more traditional book structure (covering much the same material) see her other book.If you're willing to read it at least somewhat like she intended (i.e., only a few tips a day) you'll likely learn something you didn't know.
review 2: For those who love the written word... more, this tip-a-day "devotional" provides 365 quick and witty rules of grammar. Mignon Fogarty offers clever methods to remember rules of English so that even the most grammatically challenged can write better. I found it so enjoyable that I read the entire book in one sitting! Even though I work with words daily as a freelance editor and writer, I definitely learned new facts and clarified some that had become fuzzy. The rules are presented in random order, but the index allows it to be used as a reference. less
