Editorial Review: Product Description: Written primarily for high school seniors and college freshmen, this all-new Easy Way book points out the simple logic that underlies correct grammar and clear expression. The author covers all basics, including parts of speech, sentence types and correct sentence construction, parallel structure, methods of avoiding misplaced and dangling modifiers, agreement of subject and verb, agreement of pronoun and antecedent, and many other basic grammar topics. The book is filled with examples of the right and wrong way to construct sentences, and is supplemented with short quizzes that come with answers. This book truly helps to make mastery of English grammar easy, and prepares students for success in completing written assignments of every kind. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - A "must have" near your computer (or typewriter) or even pen and pencil.No matter how many A's we got in English..there are times when one isn't sure of the proper use or position or tense of a word. Danny Mulvey has made it easy to research..book well organized and problems quickly solved. Rating:  - Don't waste your money!I recently purchased Barron's "Grammar The Easy Way" to brush up on my English grammar. Based on the 5-star reviews, it looked like the perfect book to meet my needs. I quit reading after 12 pages. The organization, examples, and explanations are, in my opinion, very poor. How this book got 5 stars is beyond me. The reviews had to be submitted by the author, his friends, Barron's, or someone they bribed. Don't waste your money on this book. Rating: - Excellent resourceI found this textbook to be an excellent resource for teaching grammar. The authors have logically planned the topics and written the grammar rules concisely in an easy-to-read style. Adequate examples have been provided for each section. What a lifesaver! Rating: - Excellent GMAT prepThis really helped. I went from getting 5/25 right to 20/25 on gmat practice problems! Buy it! Rating: - "User friendly" self-instruction materialThis clear approach to understanding the foundations of English grammar in all its ironies and inconsistencies advises on ways to avoid common grammatical pitfalls, reinforcing clear instruction with examples and exercises. Whether it be an adult seeking to brush up grammar knowledge or a student looking for an easy primer on the topic, Grammar The Easy Way is packed with important and "user friendly" self-instruction material.
