I loved this book. The advice is practical and not the least bit pedantic or dogmatic. Fogarty gives her own opinions, backed up by various style guides. Fogarty has a great sense of humor that comes through very clearly in the book. Kudos as well to illustrator Arnie Ten for some great work. Illustrations in a book on writing? Definitely and I loved them. Overall this is a great book on writing. Thank you Netgalley and St. Martin's Griffin for sending this book for review consideration. All opinions are my own.

As an English teacher (grades 6-12) I’ve followed Grammar Girl for years and have consulted her site for grammar questions. Thus, when I saw this book up for offer, I quickly grabbed it.

This is a great resource that I will definitely be incorporating into my daily lessons and recommending the book for my students to purchase for themselves.

I like the nugget-sized bites, the variety of topics chosen, and the inclusion of an index to quickly find specific topics.

This book’s a winner!

Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for the ARC in exchange for my honest opinions.

I love books like this. I skimmed through the book but will go back to it and read a tip every day as part of my routine and that way will remember it all. Thanks for the opportunity.

This was a wonderful little book. I have enjoyed the Grammar Girl's website for a while, but this provides one more bit of good information in a concise style.
