Customer Reviews

A great grammar book

This is a great grammar book. It's straight forward, informative and easy to understand. It's an excellent self study or self review.

Helpful and easy to use; some tiny errors

As an instructional guide, this book is helpful and straightforward, and it's easy to zoom through the lessons. (Perhaps a little too easy.) Osborn's style is engaging, and the tone and appearance of the book are inviting. However, on a couple of finer points, I actually disagree with her examples, and I have noted a typo or two. I think this book would be appropriate for high school or undergraduate school students wanting to update their grammar skills; more serious writers, English majors, and journalists may want a reference with more punch, more detail, more examples, and more drills.
