5.0 out of 5 stars A User Friendly Grammar Book, November 14, 2002

Fianally, a grammar book that everyone can relate to!
The authors write their lessons clearly and provide many fine examples and exercises to reinforce the lessons. This excellent text covers everything I need to teach my high school and college age students. After 12 years of teaching, this is the first grammar book I have encountered that my students actually enjoy using and don't toss at the end of the class.

I used this book for my GMAT preparation. It is a great book for quickly reviewing the grammar. If you want in depth understanding look for "English Grammar and Composition" by Warriner's

This book that we're using in my humanities class has proven to be easy for me to understand, albeit English is my second language, and then it has proven to be quite a challenge to some of my classmates that were 'born with the language'.
