As an instructional guide, this book is helpful and straightforward, and it's easy to zoom through the lessons. (Perhaps a little too easy.) Osborn's style is engaging, and the tone and appearance of the book are inviting. However, on a couple of finer points, I actually disagree with her examples, and I have noted a typo or two. I think this book would be appropriate for high school or undergraduate school students wanting to update their grammar skills; more serious writers, English majors, and journalists may want a reference with more punch, more detail, more examples, and more drills.

This very helpful study guide is one of the most thought provoking and challenging books that i have seen in a long time. For those of us who need a review of the principles of grammers, How Grammer Works, is a must have. The books unique format systematically guides your brain along old forgotten paths provoking recall while simultaniously stimulating new learning. I am completely satisfied with this book. I am sure a beginner can greatly benefit from this work also. Thank you Amazon for making it available.

This is a great grammar book. It's straight forward, informative and easy to understand. It's an excellent self study or self review.
