5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent!, June 9, 2002
By A Customer
After being out of college for twenty years, I wanted to review basic grammar and punctuation. So, I ordered a copy of this book -- Writing: Grammar, Usage, and Style -- by Cliffs Quick Review. In a word, it was just what I was looking for, a clear and concise review of English grammar. Although the book is 240 pages long, it has just the right amount of detail and examples without overdoing it. One can read it from front to back (as I am doing) without getting too bogged-down in detail. Or, the work could serve as a ready reference guide to basic grammar and punctuation. It's not just for students, but for anyone who wants to improve their writing skills. Highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Book, April 20, 2005
I disagree with the previous reviewer. For one thing, the reader inaccurately assumes this book is in the same genre as the Gregg Reference Manual. The Cliffs book is intended for basic writers who need the core basics of a Freshman ENG 101 course from research to revision. It is not intended as any sort of intensive grammar review or grammar dictionary. To use it as such or frankly to expect a Cliffs book (the publisher should be a tip off to the genre, level, and intended audience) to do more than that is naieve at best. The reader also places excessive faith in a book that is by no means the industry standard or even a particularly well liked by those in the profession. As a tenured and distinguished English professor at a top ten university with twenty six years of experience in teaching writing, I think I am qualified to say with authority that Gregg is not the definitive anything. For what the Cliffs book intends- to provide a comprehensive and brief introduction to the basics of college writing for individuals with little to no previous experience and even less confidence- I think it exceeds expectations. Many of my students have improved their writing using this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good all-reund guide to grammar and better writing style, January 6, 1999
By A Customer
This is a practical, easy-to-use guide to grammar and better writing, full of good examples. The reader does not have to wade through the dread grammar jargon (predicate-nominative, etc) that turns so many students off and makes them think grammar is irrelevant to their lives.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great reference for the working adult
This guide is a wonderful desk reference for working adults who are not-just-a-few years away from Freshman Comp. Easy-to-read and easy-to-follow.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great no-nonsense guide to better writing
It's nice to see grammar treated as the means to the end, with the focus on clear writing. Very handy little book.
