Oh God... this book was like a combination of grammar textbooks given to us in different standards in my school with some next-level stuff thrown in. There were a couple things I really liked, and I have noted them down for future references. But other than that, the book was very boring. Very school language-ish...
For students who want to learn the basic elements of grammar, go for it. But the punctuation bit lacked some more details. It isn't a bad book, it just isn't like some good ones I've read before this.
