"Woods is engaging and entertaining, a self-described ‘language enthusiast’, and her dry wit lifts both the book and the reader’s spirits.. [her] knowledge of literature and other sources and her expertise in writing are demonstrated wonderfully by the additional sentences she provides to continue exploring the structure, style and word choice of the featured sentences." -- Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading
