I also need this book, mostly because I have no clear knowledge on grammar and punctuation. Sometimes it shows up in my reviews. Thank you for your review!
But the path I’ve chosen has always been the right one, and I wouldn’t have had it any other way. :)

I learned British English at school but then I read mostly American books. Spelling differences are not a big deal but there are other differences that sometimes can get me confused. Having a good grammar book could be useful. Thank you for your review!
Ciao :)

Im a student of language this book will help me a lot. As my professor famously say. " In grammar, nobody knows everything even if it is used as a first language. " It will also help me improve my review.

This seems like a very educational book. I could make good use of this one. Can it be used in preparation for English proficiency tests?
Feeling upset sometimes may be unavoidable, but acting distressed is always optional.

I'm glad to see that this book has a chapter on sentence style, which I find absolutely fascinating. I'm doing a video course right now called "Building Great Sentences." It's really fun. Thanks for a great review. :D

Not having taken any English proficiency tests myself, I'm not sure. However, I don't see why not. It's got great information, and the exercises would be quite helpful. Thanks!
