The Glamour of Grammar by Roy Peter Clark
Book Review: Now it would be really silly for me to say that this is a well written book, considering it is a guide to the English language. The surprise to me was that it made me excited to write. I’ve been criticized several times about my writing on this blog. While it hurt my feeling I knew it was true. I’ve gotten careless since not being in school. I was a good writer. I graduated Magna Cum Laude for goodness sakes! This book was inspiring and funny. I am going to enroll in a writing class after reading this book. Now that’s inspiring!
This book is a reminder of how to use the English language for everyone. I highly recommend it if you write a blog, communicate by e-mail or even want to speak properly. If you are a writer I think that you will find the humour in this book as well as, the history behind our language and how we use it.
I just want to say that I’m not completely done with this book. I’ve become a bit overwhelmed and I was anxious to offer two of you a chance to win a copy! If you do ANY writing it is well worth it.
