Super easy to read and understand. If you are a college student and you struggle with writing, this book is a great resource for you. I struggled with commas and sentence structure in high school and part of college, but this book opened my eyes to understanding grammar and punctuation. You don’t have to read it in order, or the whole way through. You can pick your problem area and stay in one section of the book.

I had to read this book for a written communication class I took. This book taught me a lot about writing.

As a teaching tool, this is my all-time favorite grammar and research guide.
