Title: There's not much to say
Review: I don't know where to begin. This book is filled with so many errors and poor explanations that it can't help you learn much of anything. Wanda's review below illustrates the problem pretty well: You get to skim over the basics, but you obviously won't learn anything about the finer points, such as parallel sentence structure. That's not Wanda's fault, though. I blame the author, who seems to be telling her readers it's OK to scoot by with a cursory knowledge of grammar. Apparently, that's what June Casagrande does. And yes, as others have noted, she does conflate grammar with style.Grammar snobs aren't meanies. They just make people like the author uncomfortable because they know more about the language.
