Book Reviews of English Grammar For Dummies
Book Review: Refreshing
Summary: 5 Stars
I like to keep this book within arm's reach when I'm at the keyboard; it's simple and easy to use. Granted, the Chicago Manual of Style is an important book to have on hand, but EG for Dummies and Strunk and White are so much handier, and less clunky. Like other Dummy books, it speaks to the reader, not at him, like someone is talking with you as a friend or favorite teacher in a nice, relaxed manner. It's like taking a refresher course which, unless you're a professional proofreader or writer, we can all use from time to time.Book Review: An Invaluable Reference for Language Studies!
Summary: 5 Stars

It sheds lights on most common pitfalls and errors in grammar usage. People who experience difficulties with english grammar should find this book extremely useful. To my mind, this is a must for all students who seek to improve their language skills and to become more effective and proficient communicators and writers!

Summary: 5 Stars
I only took one grammar class throughout my compulsory education years and it was in junior high school. Actually, I didn't have a choice, but I loved it. I really learned somehting and out of 32 students only 2 of us passed, me and another guy!
Anyway, I like to read and am a good writer, but I wanted to revisit this topic, so I ordered this book. The author does a wonderful job. It's witty and funny while simultaneously clear and concise. A good buy!
Book Review: Very Complete, for an introductory book!
Summary: 5 Stars
Most self-help grammar books out there give you about a dozen rules of thumb to follow, without actually teaching you anything about grammar. Those books suck, because you can not apply what you learn to more than the 12 instances that are perfectly similar to an examples given. This book is different. It actually teaches you grammatical rules, so you can apply what you learn. I think it is the best introductory self-help grammar book out there.Book Review: Totally Awesome Helper!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a book that covers all those "little problem" areas in grammar. From when to use a semicolon to dealing with irregular plural possessives, this book is a must-have for anyone in need of grammar-help.I highly recommend this book to anyone thinking of buying it!
I am a writer, and while my first novel was edited by others, I'd like to try editing my next one without an intitial edit job...this book is my only hope! :-)(...)
