Summary: Witty and easy to read
Comment: This is one of the best books on the English language that I have read. It makes the subject of grammar (which you probably reply with "Ugh!" and think of those awful middle school and high school hours of studying) actually interesting. It is simple to read and very straightforward without the extra "fluff" that is often found in text books (which is what usually causes me to loose interest very quickly in a book or subject). It also incorporates humor, which is a nice touch and certainly a break from the dry monotony so often found elsewhere. If you are at all interested in grammar or being able to speak well, then this is ten dollars that you cannot afford not to spend.

Rating: 5
Summary: Very Good and Lots of Fun
Comment: There are plenty of grammar books going around. I don't know whether this one is the best, but I don't know what would be better for someone who doesn't need an exhaustive treatment of the subject. For me, humor has mnemonic value, and there's plenty of humor in this book.

Rating: 5
Summary: Good, Funny Introduction to English Grammar
Comment: This book was recommended to me a few years ago by an English professor. I wish I had bought the book back then. O'Conner provides an introduction to English grammar that is not only useful, but often funny. Moreover, unlike many books on English grammar, O'Conner manages to avoid using technical jargon. I highly recommend O'Conner's book.
