Summary: Not So Great
Review: I had the honor of meeting Dr. Hensley at a conference in North Carolina. I managed to go to ever class he taught. This man is an amazing teacher! He can teach you more in ten minutes than most can teach you in one year. I encourage all who are looking for insight into writing to purchase this book and USE IT.

Summary: Almost Perfect
Review: I haven't studied grammer since grade school and this book is a good refresher. The content seems comprehensive. However, I am a little annoyed at two incidentals:

1. There are just not enough examples.
2. I have located four errors in the quizzes and I'm only a third of the way through the book. This is the most frustrating aspect. To what extent can I improve my grammer when the answers for the quizzes are incorrect? For those that own the text, look at problem 6 on page 127. The correct answer should be B and not A as the answer sheet describes.

I think I will hang onto this book and use it as a reference.

Summary: Not So Great
Review: The book has some good content but the quizes and exercises are [bad] The exercises are just multiple choice questions that are so easy most 2nd graders could probably handle them. Overall not a great book for adults.

Summary: Complicated unless you're the most intellectual
Review: This book isn't easy. I have my masters in English, working on a PhD, and at times I was even caught up with it. Very good quizes, but too fast pace, it is impossible to learn everything with the limited resources given. But, for a professor with a PhD, maybe it's possible... But then again, he should already know it all.
