## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Clear and easy to follow
  

*by R***. on Reviewed in the United States on November 7, 2017*

I have been reading a number of grammar, writing, and style books. In my opinion, Patricia T. O’Connor’s Woe is I is a great book and stands out among others. All of us—even those with extensive knowledge of standard English—can benefit from this book.Not only does O’Connor sometimes show her sense of humor and wit, but she is able to reach out to all readers with a simple, helpful, and easy-to-follow style. Instead of using unnecessary grammatical terms, she speaks to her entire audience in layman’s terms, breaking down some of the hard rules and providing helpful pointers to troubleshoot difficult concepts. I found her list about words written both as one word or two words as helpful and useful. (i.e., a while or awhile, all ready or already, every day or everyday).O’Connor’s simple and direct style is not only impressive, but refreshing. In fact, much can be gleaned by all, even readers who may find standard English daunting at times. Overall, I found this book clear, concise, and easy to read and follow.

    Perfect! Just what I needed!
  

*by R***L on Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2012*

While I can identify the correct sentence in a multiple choice selection, I can't tell you why it is correct. That tends to make writing somewhat problematic at times.Enter "Woe is I," a first-rate grammar reference book (or read several pages at once). It provides just enough discussion and explanation for things to make sense, while omitting the tedious jargon-filled details that make your eyes cross.  Other grammar books assume a level of knowledge of "grammar-speak" that I just don't possess. So if like me, you need your explanations served up in straight-forward English, this is the book for you.  Bonus: as other reviews mention, her examples are amusing, making for engaging and entertaining reading as well.What has been valuable to me (so far)? I'm well on my way to losing my apostrophe phobia, I'm beginning to look for excuses to use the "unloved" semicolon, and I have real hope that I may get my verb tenses right - consistently.I bought the hard copy version (only because the third revision Kindle version was not offered at that time), but I now own - and use - both.  Yes, it's that kind of book.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Good Book!
  

*by L***G on Reviewed in the United States on May 9, 2014*

The content of the book is helpful and  it is fun reading. My only concern is that I plan to use it as a reference book and I feel I'd be better served if I had purchased a hard copy. I'm a new user of e-books. It may be that I just have to become more familiar with using it. I'm finding it difficult to find the subjects I'm referencing.
