Diagramming sentences - [01 Apr 2009]
This book really is a history of diagramming sentences, so this better be your passion or the book will not hold much appeal for you. I thought the title was a humorous, tongue-in-cheek reference to some topic to be revealed in the book, but I was wrong...

Bogus book - [31 Mar 2009]
The illustrative diagrams contain several mistakes. If you're going to publish a book about diagramming, then you should make sure the diagram are right. Like phonics, sentence diagramming is not the panacea that its supporters claim it is.

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.
