I was not able to finish this book in time. I had to return it to the library. It's very good. I need to own a copy for reference. There is so much to learn about English grammar. Most people don't like to read grammar books from cover to cover, but I do.

I bought this in the hope that it would improve my grammar, but I found it completely impenetrable.

A good English syntax book for a person who already has some linguistics background. Some of the data feels awkward, but overall, a readable, reliable description of the subject.
