Title: Needs a Beefier Index
Review: Perhaps this book is meant for laughs or just for fun. If that's that case it might deserve a higher rating. For people like myself who are very challenged in spelling, punctuation, and grammar it just isn't helpful.I purchased this book in hopes that it would give me a fun way to learn writing mechanics. I expected illustrations to guide me through the stickier spots in my work. This book does not have that. The pictures are cute (in a vampirey, gothic way) but they do not add much to the explanations.The index is really not usefully at all to someone who is clueless in grammar. Terms such as Past Perfect Progressive Tense and Subjective Complements mean nothing to me. After reading these sections - they still mean nothing to me. It would have been nice to see index entries such as: Who's vs. Whose or Past vs. Passed. These are not listed. I took some time to try and find these sections in the handbook, but couldn't.If you are grammar challenged like I am, skip this book.
