Title: I guess I'm a snob then...
Review: I wanted to like this book, but unfortunately the author seems to have put more effort into trying to be entertaining than getting things right. Starting on page 4, an omitted closing quotation mark might have been a simple typographic error, but an insistence on page 23 that the word "up" in "The baby can sit up" is an adjective (no, it's an adverb - up modifies sit, not baby) made me throw up my hands in resignation and, I confess, stop reading. I find no pleasure in reading a book on grammar that not only makes mistakes but vehemently defends them.Did the author write this book in response to accusations of being a grammar snob? If so, she has a lot more explaining to do.
Is the review positive or negative?
