Ahmad El-Moatassem: Not much

evil4563evil4563: It's like being dragged right back to school with all the same tediums, dry, undefined, teachings.

The book consists of large blocks of text per page with no context given to the lessons.

This is not the only grammer book you'll ever need and I have a better option

Go online and create a Khan academy account and get an infinitely more digestible (and free) curriculum for writing that will actually help you improve.

Charlize McDaniel: It's a book. Most of this stuff you can find online but having it in one place is nice.

RACHEL B.: This book is too short to cover all of the topics and does not go into enough detail It is condensed. I would suggest purchasing The McGraw-HIll Book of English Grammar and Usage, along with this book and workbook, should you need more explanations on some of the topics. The McGraw-Hill Book even provides tests you can use if you are uncertain of the different types of speech. However, I will say that the commonly misspelled words in this book is more comprehensive than any other grammar books I've taken a look at recently. The workbook also provides a lengthy test of commonly misspelled words, which I found very helpful. If you want to get even deeper into the subject and and are interested in word usage and style and editing, don't forget to take a look at Strunk & White's "The Element of Syle" and then move onto June Casagrande (I would suggest "The Best Punctuation Book Period."). Every author has something to add. This is by no means the only grammar book you will ever need, but it will help guide you and provide a helpful start. Oh, and then there's a few more on proofreading and editing books if you want to brush up your skills. I did like this one; however; as I noted...

J. Balao: This is the first grammar book that I actually read all the way through. Prior to this, I didn't even know what adverbs or conjunctions are.

I had an English teacher say my writing is perfect. Off course it's not, but I was happy because it's my first time receiving such compliment.

I learned from this book that English is actually easy and pleasant to learn if you have a great teacher like Susan Thurman. I can't remember struggling at all, and I actually had a pleasant time.

So I recommend this book fellow ESL who want to brush up their grammar for their career or personal benefits.

After this book, if you like to improve your grammar to the next level, there are other simple, direct, and fun books I recommend: The Blue Book of Grammar by Jane Strauss and Beyond Prepositions by Thomas Celentano.

The Blue Book has lots of rules not covered in Thurman's book (and vice versa). Thurman's and Strauss' books compliment each other. But these two books don't cover the actual prepositions because you'd need about 100-200 pages for it.

Just like the two grammar books I mentioned, Celentano's Beyond Preposition is simple, easy, and pleasant to read.
