To be honest, I just flicked through last ten or fifteen pages as there were so boring and contain predominantly of the things I've already known.

It's not a bad book tho. It's just not right for me.

Some books are written for some people, I guess. And I think this book might be suitable for a junior high.

I'm keeping the book as one of my reference tho. At least, it told me the phrase ' an unkindness of ravens' which I've never heard of before.

[Angela]

An approachable reference book ideal for all ages. Certainly one to keep next to your creative writing space for those moments when one is unsure if a word is a noun or adverb, it's use in multiple sentences and examples of English language skills.

A nifty little compendium.

[Ros]

This book is supposedly written for children, but I can see how it would help anybody of any age. I would describe it as being a reference book, rather than one you read all the way through in one sitting - but there is plenty of humour along the way to keep you smiling!

[Jennie Smith]

This will definitely be a great resource for my students in my writing class!

[Philia]

This is one of the easily to read and digest English Grammar I've ever read so far.
A good reference book to keep on the shelf.

[Karina]

This book was not only educational but entertaining. A fun and easy to read format also helped in retaining information.
