Review title: Not good for learning.
Product review: This was required reading for a grammar class, and it was not what I would choose as a good reference. The author tries to be different, quirky, or elite with the styles of grammar and their rules; it just comes off as a confusing mess. Yes, there is a table of contents so that you can zip along to the chapter involving comma's and such, but what you get is about 3-4 pages of examples (not always very good ones) of the usage. I appreciate the author is trying to simplify by writing a short book with all of the pertinent rules presented, but to me, it is just not enough of a reference. I almost feel as if I have to got back and skim through a "blog post" to get the correct usage. So you better remember it, or you will be searching through this one. I much prefer The Elements of Style by Strunk and White. It is a much cheaper and timeless reference.
