Review - The Curious Case of the Misplaced Modifier


Bonnie Trenga's book, The Curious Case of the Misplaced Modifier is a fun and interesting book about grammar and sentence structure. Do not be deterred by the subject of the book. The book uses the format of mystery stories to explain the usually dry subject of grammar. If you are interested in her writing, Bonnie Trenga has also done some guest writing in the popular grammar podcast Grammar Girl's Quick and Dirty Tips for Better Writing. Also, you can view her blog at sentencesleuth.blogspot.com. This is a very fun book, and has some very useful tips for anyone. While this book is not in the Swift Current Library, I borrowed it through interlibrary loan from the Vancouver Public Library. If there is a book you cannot find in our library, we will order it for you from any other library. It is a service that makes the accessibility of information nearly limitless.
