Summary: Fabulous and clear!
Review: As a retired high school teacher of 10th and 11th grades, I wish I had had this resource for my students. More formal usage books are not only colder and more frightening-looking but are usually much less functional than this book in actually helping the student to write clearly and well. I wish that I had written it!

Summary: A nonintimidating grammar book!
Review: If there is a way to make grammar painless, Dr. Elliott has done it. This book is delightful. My teenagers aren't even intimidated by fact it is a grammar book. It stays by our computer for every writing project, even mine.

Summary: A Good User-Friendly Reference Book
Review: What I like about this book is it's easy to use. When you need help with grammar just look it up in the handy index. Yes this is a book on "basic" grammar, but isn't that what troubles the average Joe/Jane Blow in his or her everyday writing.The beauty of this book is its simplicity. Adults can benefit from Dr. Elliot's humorous approach used to keep eigth graders from falling asleep between reading about nouns and verbs. The best way to describe this book is it's a kids version of Strunk and Whites, "Elements of Style."

Summary: A very good basic grammar
Review: With a few exceptions, this book is an excellent guide to proper usage. If you need to brush up on your grammar and punctuation, this will do quite nicely.
