Nostalgic - [02 May 2009]
A fun book that brings back memories of Catholic grade school and the nuns who taught us how to diagram sentences.

Nostalgia - [16 Dec 2008]
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. When I was in high school and learning to diagram sentences, I can't say it was my favorite activity. However, when I moved to Uruguay and was learning Spanish as a survival skill it stood me in good stead! It was nice ...

Cute, Quirky, and Informative! - [18 Sep 2008]
A curious and nostalgic tome. A bit off topic at times, but still a valuable resource tool (especially for the would-be grammarian in some of us). B/B-: text could use some revision and clearer examples.

Boring - for English teachers only - [03 Aug 2008]
Boring book. I can"t imagine anyone liking this book other than maybe English teachers. It has little merit as literature, and provides very limited diagramming instruction, so I fail to see its purpose.

Fun, satisfying AND good for you!! - [19 Jul 2008]
It never occurred to me that a book on sentence diagramming could be an interesting read, but Florey, a copy editor, is not only a terrific writer and charmingly cranky, but she knows her stuff. It's a coffee table or novelty book, something you might...

The book was horrible - [18 Jun 2008]
The book does nothing to help the reader to learn and understand grammar using the diagramming method. If you are interested in learning or brushing up on grammar this book is not for you. There is no connection in the book between grammar and diagramming...
