Summary of this Book...
This grammar book by Karen Elizabeth Gordon is like no other handbook ever written on the subject of linguistics. Gordon sheds new light on the thorny topics of agreements, fragments, clauses and run-on's by populating her spooky, wicked tome with a cast of characters straight out of Central Castings "weird, halloweeny beings." But make no mistake, the author is a gifted teacher of the correct usage of the English language, and a wordsmith with many published books to her credit.
This type of Book is good for...
I reach for Gordon's narrative style textbook with a gothic twist any time I need a fabulous adjective or clear explanations of the complexities of grammar. Her vocabulary is exemplary.
I especially liked...
Her playful, highly creative book amazes me and invigorates my own writings.
When I finished reading this Book I wanted to...
....absorb her vast, oft times, inventive vocabulary.
