I vaguely remember the grammar lessons from my school days. This book helped me recall those dusty memories and of course taught the other rules of writing. The book also uses simple and easy-to-understand language.

you can play with yourself to assess your vocabulary.

I play this mobile app called 'Elevate', which helps you get better at English and Mathematics. The rules mentioned in the book will definitely help you to get to the expert level in the Writing and other sections.

One gripe I have with this book is that the author could've added some humor in the book. A book with so many "Do's" and "Don'ts", might make it a tad bit boring. As the old saying goes 'All rules and no laughs makes Jack to not read the book', or something like that.
