Summary: Safire knows his stuff - and he knows it, too!!
Comments: Safire definitely knows what he's talking about-and he isn't afraid to tell it to your face, either. I love the cocky attitude of this handbook, and I doubt I'll ever have as much fun learning about grammar and rules again-unless I read another of his books!! I have read this book twice-and plan to read it again soon-and it reads like a joke book. It's laugh out loud funny, and his humor is right up my alley (avoid clichés like the plague).
At the beginning of the book, he bluntly tells you to `do as I say, not as I do' which it would behoove you to take notice of, as e chapter title is in itself a grammatical error. (And behoove seems to be his favorite word) For example, the chapter on double negatives is called: do not use no double negatives. From run-on sentences to using negative statements, this book has it all.With colorful phrases like, `blond enough to make a bishop kick a hole through a stained glass window' and painfully demonstrative examples, this book is for anyone looking for an educational laugh. Safire's point is always clear, straight and to the point, making this1of my favorite books. do not hesitate, and purchase it now!! (And do not start a sentence with a conjunction.)
however remember: Never use prepositions to end sentences with.
