## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Excellence in clear language
  

*by M***R on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 31 July 2019*

Do not be deceived by the clarity and apparent simplicity of David Crystal's explanations of the complete range of grammar issues. This is a master class in University level linguistics delivered in straightforward and even entertaining language replete with crucial imaginative examples. The author's significant accomplishment is to cover all the bases in his tour of grammar issues. You do not just get an explanation of English grammar. You get coverage of child language acquisition as a contributory part of your explanation of how grammar works. Then you get a history of the writing of grammar and a history of the teaching of grammar to help you get over some of those unresolved confusions you might have picked up in your own education and thinking. An antidote to all the  beefs, bugbears and tub-thumbing of the political market place of half-digested language ideas. A medicine for and against the Rees-Moggs of our times.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Well worth a read!
  

*by B***E on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 May 2020*

I’m a huge David Crystal fan and have all his books on language so I admit to being rather biased! This is not a grammar book in the usual sense of the word, but rather a discussion of the way language and grammar change over time. I’m not sure where the glamour comes in! Well worth reading and as informative as David’s books always are.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Much needed clarity on Grammar
  

*by B***N on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 September 2018*

David Crystal managed to write in an accesssble way about grammar that leaves you feeling better informed and more able to make the destinction between authoritative and authoritarian approaches to answering your questions about grammar. Linguistic choice is about style and self expression. This is a book written by someine who understands the need to understand the impact if our chiices on the audience rather than ignoring the huge variety of linguistic choices available in favour of narrow prescriptivism. Great Book!
