Status Updates From Sin and Syntax: How to Craf...

This is a far better book than I thought it would be. I think I'll refer to this when I want to draw attention to my sentences and examine my prose more carefully. Some of the examples are interesting, and the fact she analyzes each part of a sentence is quite helpful.

I'm *loving* this book. The examples given, since they come not from classics but from The New Yorker and other modern magazines, as well as politicians' speeches and news articles, truly exemplify the current trends in language. Ms. Hale does an awesome job of explaining the basics (and not-so-basics) of grammar in a fluid way that's easy to remember--and put into use. Great stuff.
