Product Description

Do you suffer from grammar-phobia because...

You're so used to IMing, you've forgotten how to write a normal sentence. :-)

You've started thinking in rap lyrics.

The last time you gave a report, your handouts got you laughed out of the room.

With Grammar Sucks, you can put your phobia to rest. Why else should you keep your grammar skills sharp? Why, knowledge of grammar can help you:

  • Go after that big promotion with flair
  • Win at board games
  • Write a love letter that'll actually help you get the girl (or guy)
  • Give an eloquent toast at the next Friars' Club roast

Following in the tradition of Joanne Kimes's signature "let's just close our eyes and get through this together" humor, along with Gary Robert Muschla's gentle grammar technique, Grammar Sucks is for everyone who hates the rules but wants to follow them anyway. It's the next best thing to learning them by osmosis!

5.0 out of 5 stars A truly enjoyable and practical read, November 3, 2007
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
One of the things that will pretty much guarantee a book's rejection by a reviewer is that it is poorly written. Flawed writing comes in the form of typos and errors of grammar. Written with both wit and wisdom, "Grammar Sucks: What To Do To Make Your Writing Much More Better" is the collaborative work of Joanne Kimes (writer for a number of children's and comedy television shows, as well as coauthor of "Pregnancy Sucks" and "Pregnancy Sucks For Men") and Gary Robert Muschla (an expert and published author of several titles on writing, grammar, and reading instruction). This thoroughly 'reader friendly' compendium of instruction, advice, tips, and basic information, will prove to be invaluable for any writer who pretty much ignored all of those highschool English classes, and now wishes they'd paid attention to all that stuff about dangling modifiers, proper sentence structure, and run-on paragraphs. A truly enjoyable and practical read, "Grammar Sucks" is especially recommended for the novice writer and self-published author who keep wondering why their manuscripts are rejected and/or their books are refused a positive review -- or any review at all.

4.0 out of 5 stars Grammar sucks, but not this book!, September 26, 2007
By Tony R. Vaughan (Ft. McCoy, FL United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
"Grammar Sucks" is a entertaining read. I enjoyed the humor in the book and I learned a thing or two about grammar that I had not learned. I wish I had this book back when I was in high school. I have only two complaints about this book: (1) the section on verbs could have been more complete; (2) the book begs for problems with answers.
