This review is from: E-Prime III!: A Third Anthology (Paperback)

I enjoyed reading the book. I also enjoyed the way the authors used English without the auxiliary verb _to be_. I liked it so much, I thought I might also use my native language (Brazilian Portuguese) without the auxiliary verb _to be_. It worked!
