Grammar Books

So to replace 'My Fiction Thursday' I've decided to review one of my all time favourite self-help grammar guides that I think everyone should read. It's easy, it's fun, and most of all, it's informative.



I've said in previous posts that there is no excuse for learning, some woman told me that dyslexic people couldn't learn... and I wasn't sure if she genuinely believed herself, but then I realised that she did... whoa, let's take a moment of silence for the ignorance in the world.




---Silence over---




Let's go on with the review. So when I first started to put my writing on the internet... around the age of 15, I got a lot of comments, some of them were great compliments and it's them who gave me this confidence, and then there were people who told me how to improve, and it's them who made me better.




This was my first ever grammar guide and I've had it for about 4 years now. It's a hardback (which I love and it still looks like new, so that's always good).



I have read quite a few guides after this because I didn't know if the book missed anything out etc. however, when I did try to read other guides they just complicated things, whereas this book is quite simple and easy to understand.



I wouldn't recommend just reading this book because although it has all of the rules in it and it's easy to understand, you might feel like some things are left out or you might want a second opinion on something, so have a read around... it's won't hinder your ability as a writer if you do a little research.


I would rate the book 4 *'s because although it's great, it isn't the best. There is a glaring mistake on the front cover and if you know what I'm talking about... then 5 points to you!



The book was £9.99, or around £7 on Amazon - My Grammar and Me - UK or $10 for the US - My Grammar and Me - US



If you do buy it, tell me what you think. If you've already read it, tell me what you think.





As a writer I presume that you've tried to brush up on your grammar--

Which books would you recommend?
