5.0 out of 5 stars Making Easy Sense of English
Reviewed in the United States on July 20, 2010
Verified Purchase
I bought this book to assist Grandson who goofed off in middle school and is using summer to catch up on studies so he can re-join his classmates in high school. As a writer, I was more than pleased with such a clear, common-sense breakdown of English; but when Grandson opened it he said "Dude, this rocks" and wants to keep it for future studies. Isn't that the best reommendation?

I have an immigrant friend who wants to start his own business and is concerned about presenting himself in a professional manner both verbally and in writing. This book will be the perfect gift!

3.0 out of 5 stars as I thought the book would have been kept in better quality considering the rating
Reviewed in the United States on June 7, 2017
Verified Purchase
The book is okay, there has been a page ripped out of the very front of the book... The only thing that was a bit frustrating when looking through the book, was that the previous owner has written in Biro pen and permanent marker in many of the pages. If it were grey lead pencil, it wouldn't of been such an issue, as I thought the book would have been kept in better quality considering the rating. Unfortunately, that was not the case... I rate this book 3 stars (okay).

5.0 out of 5 stars amazing book for grammar
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 21, 2013

this book could be used for inter-advanced learners as it is all in English. It clears all grammar aspects, full of fun and useful! exercises, and give you the essential basics as well as advanced points. The most useful thing is that it provides a test at the beginning, which you could use to self-evaluate your knowledge and brush the areas of grammar that you need.
