Book 117:The Concise Canadian Writer's Handbook

So, obviously this was a required text for school, because although I love to learn, I don't love it enough to pick this book up by myself. I cannot begin to describe to you how much I hate this book. I hate it more than I hate spider. I hate it with such an unfathomable passion. It feels good to get that out of the way. Now let's explore why I hate it:
            1. My prof for the class that I had to read this book for was crazy and I didn't like her at all.
            2. Knowing the contents of this book was worth 16% of my final grade.
            3. Basically, I suck at writing and my grammar is beyond terrible.
and I like to think that these are all very good reasons for hating something. But, in all fairness to the book, aside from the fact that it's boring to just sit down and read 40 pages at a time for two and a half weeks, it's a wonderful reference and I learned a lot from it. I hope that you had tell the ladder from my writing style now as compared to that of earlier reviews.

So I give this book a decent rating, 6 out of 10. I'm glad I own it, I'm glad it's on my shelf. I still don't understand sentence structure, punctuation, and  grammar, but it's a work in progress.
