Reviews About “The Grammarians” by “Cathleen Schine”
One of my favorite books! I couldn’t put it down once I started reading. It was such a quick and enjoyable read, especially if you love to read and write. The writing, in general, is just superbly beautiful, yet very clear and understandable (I hate when it’s hard to understand what an author is trying to say). The main character has such a wonderful voice! You can hear how she talks and thinks about things as she describes them so accurately in her narration. The book puts into perspective all of those questions that we have had about grammar at some point or another during our schooling/college/work life – questions like Do we need all these rules?
