BAH! I got a style book just now but it's super boring and made for like old ppl. Any good ones?

Question

I just got The Everything Grammar and Style Book, but it's like super boring and made for old people that sucked in school when they were younger. Are there any ones that won't kill young teens of boredom but still teach well? Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

The book Eat Shoots and Leaves is an awesome book about grammar and punctuation. The author is named Lynn Truss and she also has a couple of books on the same topic for younger kids. This is probably the most entertaining book about grammar that is out there.  

Answer 2

Just so you know, these books are novels but it's worth it!! I totally think you should read The Twilight Saga! They are so good, it's a series consisting of 4 books that are about a teen girl and vampires. Don't worry, it's way better than it sounds, when i first heard about it i wanted nothing to do with it, i mean vampires? Why would i want to read about stupid vampires? But 7 pages in and i was completely captivated i couldn't put it down and it was hard for me to think of anything else. i have read A LOT of books and so i know a good one when i see it and these are the BEST books I've ever read, by far!! Trust me you will be obsessed with it by the end of the second chapter, if not sooner!!!:-) The first book is called Twilight just so you know.

Answer 3

"eats, shoots & leaves" is great for punctuation.  the old classic standby is "elements of style" by e.b. white.

Answer 4

yeahh definitely!!

my first reccomendation is the twilight saga by stephenie meyer.

you can check out about the books at www.stepheniemeyer.com.

another really good book is called A Child Called "It". its by Dave Pelzer and is also a true story. its about how this child is being brutally abused by his mother who is an alcholic. it sounds really depressing but the books focuses more on how the child overcomes his battle and eventually escapes. i highly recomend it.

another series is the uglies. i can't really put a description on these books but they are really good.if you go to borders.com and search the book there it will give you a good description. :)

hope i helped!
