| | | This is a focused, respectful, entertaining guide to getting sentences into good shape. Bell describes grammar and usage problems in ways that make immediate sense and explains precisely what punctuation marks will and won''t do.
Annotation:
Grammar does not have to be dull, and it doesn't have to be difficult. Janis Bell is an English teacher (her title is a riff on a Hemingway story) who knows how to make it all fun. In a mere seven chapters, she elucidates many of our commonest, peskiest problems--everything from the who-whom conundrum to where to use a semi-colon--and throws in examples and quizzes that make everything crystal clear. The format is logical and easy to use, and the wit and humor are most welcome.
