Clarified a few things for me and expanded my awareness quite a bit. Now it's time to take a few choice paragraphs and deconstruct them with this book as a guide. ( ) The author begins by explaining: "This is a book of sentences: sentences about sentences, and sentences sentencing themselves." She continues, "Part of the art of creating a sentence is knowing the substance and elements of which it is composed." In the following chapters, she ten explains nouns, verbs, verbals, adjectives and adverbs, pronouns, agreement in tense, prhases, clauses, fragments, and comma usage. Her selection of sentences for examples is entertaining, but it is probably not a book that could be used below the high school level because of the often risqué nature of the humor. I enjoyed the concept of this better than the execution. It straddles the line between text book and humor, but doesn't do it very well. Other reviewers have already phrased it particularly well. I think that this could work for a high school audience in some cases, but not as a general-use textbook. I really wanted to enjoy this, but it became much more of a slog to actually enjoy it.
