### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Grammar made fun. No, really.
  

*by M***S on Reviewed in the United States on January 22, 2015*

I've just bought my second copy of this book. As an editor, I see sentences like this one every day: Looking over my shoulder as I ran, the strange man was gaining on me. What the (imaginary) writer of this sentence meant is something like, "A glance over my shoulder told me the strange man was gaining ground." What she (again, still imaginary) wrote was, "The strange man looked over my shoulder and saw that he was gaining on me." Why? Because the opening phrase must modify the subject of the sentence: the strange man. A lot of people seem to think that grammar is boring, dry, and difficult to understand. This fun, informative book will change your mind if you think that way. It's not an in-depth, exhaustive study. It will hit the high points in a memorable way. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

    Curious, befuddling and a ball of fun
  

*by L***E on Reviewed in the United States on November 23, 2014*

This book showed the most common mistakes we do in our writing, and a few tips how to rid your wordy and boring script into something clear and concise.Easy to read, easy to understand the core of the problems and the answers, though I struggled with finding good solutions to the problems, which is why I thought it was nice to see that there were answers to the problems in the back - giving a good idea to how something could be written instead. I miss seeing more examples of replacement-words just to pinpoint you in the right direction.I think the stories were quite enjoyable and entertaining. This book was a fun learning experience.

    Very helpful little guidance book at the pulse of writing
  

*by G***L on Reviewed in the United States on June 9, 2010*

Bonnie Trenga's book was a nice little refresher and also offers up very helpful tips for your everyday writing.In her introduction she says that as a professional book editor she keep encountering the same errors and problems over and over again and decided to write this book in response. I am glad she did, because it gave me the chance to examine my own writing a little more critically and see if I have been falling into the same pitfalls as the countless writers she's been dealing with.The style of the book is slightly humorous but always right to the point. There is no dry wasteland of textbook grammar to be found here, but instead concise examples that you can directly apply and/or compare to your own writing. It is a book of guidance rather than a sterile grammar primer. That alone makes in invaluable, because it makes it so much more accessible.
