Customer Reviews

Great basic guide to Grammar with nice easy-to-use format
This is a clear and concise guide to English Grammar that covers all the basics without any jargon. It's broken down into bitesize sections on grammar, punctuation and syntax with lots of examples and colourful illustrations. It's a bit simplistic but it'd make a brilliant quick reference book for GCSE level kids and for younger children too. There are lots of jokes, and the whole package manages to make grammar much more fun than a stuffy old-fashioned book might. In fact, I'd say it would make a perfect beginner's guide to good English - ideal for people learning English as a second language.

Great for GCSE!
This is a very good text guide to help with An Inspector Calls at GCSE level. It gives you a great insight into the play and explains things very well. But sometimes it doesn't go into a deeper analysis and description which is required if you want to get the higher marks. But it has greatly helped me with the understanding and knowledge that I have of the play.

Better for Foundation Tier!!!
This book is quite light-hearted, and as another review says, probably contains everything you need to pass- get a C grade. It doesn't, however, contain the information i would personally say you need for the A*-B Therefore is better for foundation. I have now bought the York Notes revision book, which is much better for higher grades!!!
