Customer Reviews

Excellent review of the basics

I bought this to review for a writing course I was forced to take in graduate school. It does provide a good review of all of the topics you could need and is easy for the non-grammatically inclined to follow. I thought it was a great price, but I bought it used.

Revised edition needed

Excellent refresher but found that it lacked some of the quick reference terminology used in elementary schools regarding types of the English language such as: Antonyms, Homophones, Homographs, etc. in the index section. Finding these terms by going through the text is time consuming, if they are there. That's what I needed for tutoring purposes.
