It’s pretty rare that a book lives up to a title like The Only Grammar Book You’ll Ever Need, but Susan Thurman’s book does. Is it the best grammar book ever? No, that would be The Deluxe Transitive Vampire: A Handbook of Grammar for the Innocent, the Eager and the Doomed by Karen Elizabeth Gordon, but, in truth, if you didn’t have any other grammar guide, you’d be, for the most part, eloquent and error-free.

Now, if there were only a guide to producing good ideas about which to write.
Truly the only Grammar book most people will ever need. The book is well organized with straight forward language. The examples and rules are write to the point. Very useful reference book to have around.
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.

The 'commonly confused words' section in the beginning of the book goes like a game 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 show more 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.
