This is one of the best Dummies books I have read. It has been tens of years since I have been to school and I have forgotten most of the rules in grammar. This book serves as a great refresher. It was written in a very simple fashion and very easy to understand. Lots of examples and useful tips. It is also very entertaining. The author has a clear understanding how the language has evolved up to the current generation and can easily relate with the kids in their own language. This is a wonderful gift for any student.
I borrowed this from a library and now intend to get it as part of my own reference library.

The book is funny which is a plus. I dont think its for beginners though ifyoudo notalready have a strong grammar backbone itwonthelpthat much especially withthe really hard stuff like types of clauses andparticiples. Its a wonderful refresher of the basics but its not really for dummies or forthosewhowant to makesure that thebook willteach them the annoying harder parts. suchas chapters22 to the end I need a whole book onthose chapters.

This book is awesome for an English book!!! I find "Geraldine Woods" writing super. It's the only time in my life I've ever read a grammar book and smiled! I even laughed out loud a couple times at her humorous style of teaching! This book is must read for aspiring writers, and it's direct and to the point. I especially love the DEMONS; those sections are extremely useful!!! Thanks and Take Care Mikey/PA (Reclusive Knight)

This was very helpful. I have been out of school a long time and this refreshed my memory. Thank you

good layout and helpful to young and old so if a student and you need help get this book and the dummies grammar workbook and not expensive either to get you to do well in school or as for me just a refresh from 30+ yrs ago since I am not writing so much in my older age.
