Author could have followed her own advise.

The long sentences and choppy -yes, I used choppy!- examples in this book are hard to understand. The examples the author offers as "fixes" to wrong sentence structure are hardly fixes. I finished the book out of principle, but after page 30 I hardly paid any attention to the content. reading...
