This was good, because I know several hundred characters of Chinese, and a number of phrases. It helped explain a few things that I didn't have clear in my mind. However, it also included some Pinyin that was never translated. So there were a few little things that I didn't understand why it made more sense, as I was unfamiliar with those few terms already.
It makes me want to keep up my learning, so it's a good thing.

Useful info for non natives
I wish it had more information. As a non native this is very informative as to why sentences are structured a certain way. English being my first language made it harder to understand why it was reversed. In the end the structure of another language and probably the rest of the world makes more sense than English

Wow this made me even more excited about Chinese!
The explanations were so clear and examples so fitting I stayed up just to finish the book. The plan was to scan it before bed to see if it’s worth my time to put on my schedule to read but I was hooked from Mistake #1. Although it was about 1230am I had to finish it.
Thank you!

Not bad for 99 cents
It covered some very basic stuff about Mandarin Chinese and is a good reference to avoid making beginner mistakes .

Maybe good for a beginner, but this didn't really contain anything I didn't already know

A straight-forward book on common Chinese grammar mistakes for Chinese Language learners.
I recommend this book to those who are in the early stages of learning the Chinese language. Those who are already familiar with HSK 1~HSK 2 words.
So if you’re starting from 0, read this. It will help you. Like the negations in Chinese is pretty tricky. And also the use of measure words (this is pretty tricky, in English we also use this but we can also sometimes do without), and also I like how it explained how verbs are used in Chinese (it’s always a default to be verb, like the verb read = kan = to read (in Chinese)). I learned Chinese in high school and this was not taught at all. Which is why I used to use "shi" all the time.
Good read. Helpful. Wish it was longer. MORE please.

Well for 99 cents I guess I can't complain. Purchased this on a whim but can't say the book provided me any insight on Chinese grammar I wasn't already familiar with. It would be a good read for somebody taking Chinese 101-202 perhaps.
