The book is a good read for understanding grammar and writing. However, a lot of the sentence and paragraph examples for the specific instances are extremely misogynistic.

The vulgarity in this handy dandy grammar and style guide makes me feel like an idiot for mistakes I frequently make. It's sort of like they're punishing readers with language so we don't fuck up as much. Well, writers, it worked. Thanks for that.

A parody of, not a replacement for, the original. (I thought the subtitle gave it away.) It's a one-trick pony, but an entertaining one.

Surprisingly helpful, highly amusing, and probably the one thing keeping me sane as I write footnotes for my thesis.

Hilarious and memorable; well worth the entire dollar I spent buying a used copy to sit next to The Elements of Style on my writing shelf.
