GUILHERME MARISANI: Estava procurando uma gramática nova para trabalhar no meu curso e na verdade encontrei algo bem melhor. É um livro atual, de leitura leve e gostosa, ter versão Kindle é um plus, pois andar com gramática em versão física não dá. Eu curti demais. O livro surpreende. Apesar do título ser meio duvidoso, logo o auto se explica. Amei!

Rene: Book came in perfect condition and is exactly what I expected it to be. Satisfied to say this purchase was worth it. It's a bit small and the letters are too but it's worth every penny. Definitely recommend!

Rafael: Um livro incrível que não se limita a passar regras e mais regras gramaticais, por ele é feita uma contextualização da realidade como o inglês é usado e que nem sempre estar gramaticalmente correto é o melhor jeito de se comunicar. Entretanto, o livro serve apenas como um complemento pois não abrange toda gramatica do inglês.

IMHO: If you've ever had to endure the raised eyebrows of self-proclaimed grammar police, then you'll appreciate this guide. Barrett is authoritative without the usual veneer of condescension. I enjoyed his refreshing response to many of the pointless constrictions that most of us have grown up with. He gives plenty of examples to contrast the acceptable with the incorrect, and explains what works (and why) in various contexts, from verbal sparring between buddies to the most formal occasions. "Perfect English Grammar" will also be helpful to people learning to speak and write our potentially confusing mother tongue. His goal is "to help you make the best choice for your situation without having to fear somebody will hunt you down and make fun of you because you did it your way instead of their way." As a professional writer, this is the grammar guide I'll keep close at hand.

Jessica Huff: I received this book as a free download from the Kindle store. I was very excited when I saw this free download because I have been thinking about starting a blog and this would make a great reference for both me and my husband. He just needs to work on his English skills altogether. When reading the introduction, I found it interesting that Barrett states perfection is something a person should strive for, but not beat themselves up if they fall short... yet the title of his book is Perfect English Grammar. My favorite tip, found in the first little general writing section, is to only use a thesaurus to remind yourself of new words. When I would proofread my husband's papers for his final year at college, I could always tell when he used a thesaurus to pick a bigger word. It was obvious and took away from his writing. This book seems more for helping those taking a creative writing class or wanting to write as a hobby or maybe even freelancing. This will be a great tool for me as I go on my blog-writing journey. I would recommend this as a download for anyone who has any interest in creative writing.

Jackie Twinam: I have never been someone who normally reads a book like this from front to back cover - I just open to different pages to see what's inside. Well, that's exactly what I did with this book, Perfect English Grammar: The Indispensable Guide to Excellent Writing and Speaking. I was pleasantly surprised that no matter which page I opened the book to, there was actually information I could use. There is so much useful information, especially for people who struggle with proper punctuation, quotation marks, numbers in sentences, and every other part of sentence structure. This book would be great for students just learning how to write essays or any paper in school. My son is graduating this year and will be heading off to college, so I think this book will benefit him greatly. I prefer paperback books since you can share them with others who might enjoy them, and this book is a really nice compact size. I think it's a great find. I received this product at a discounted rate in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.
