I started to read this book and then I began to freak out. I apparently don't remember anything from school about grammar! I am appalled at some of the things I have been doing with my writing and such, this book makes me want to do better. As with anything else, it will take practice.


Seeing as this book is non-fiction and informational in nature I can't particularly go into detail about character and plot but I can describe a bit about what you might find inside this book's pages. I do have to say I wish the author could have found a more fun way of explaining his subject matter but we get what we get and the author's presentation of the information was slow and hard for me to plug through. On the other hand, there are great examples of errors and great ways to help yourself catch your grammatical blunders before you make them. There are also excellent introduction and conclusion chapters in this book, very good!


Inside you will find excellent examples of correct/incorrect punctuation and grammatical errors. The one I have the most trouble with I would say is the pronouns (him, her, his, hers, etc). I read through the entire book but of course I was unable to retain every detail so I am going to separate the chapters per week, for ten weeks and then focus on one grammatical blunder each week. Then practice, practice, practice.… (mehr)
