Snarky, Fun, and Informative!

I love Casagrande's style of presenting grammar, style, and usage rules. I also like that she really explores the ins and outs of these rules, discussing at some length (but not too much length) and with great humor how and when to use the rules and how and when to break them.
Thoroughly enjoyable!

I discovered this book while visiting a college bookstore with my son. As an author, I found this book very entertaining and educational. I loved the sarcastic tone of the author and have already ordered her first book. A very fun read! Well done.
