I bought this book based on a recommendation within an Amazon review by an experienced tutor who likes Meltzer's books. I don't recall whether he had mentioned this one specifically, but he liked her as an author.Flipping to see what I thought (as there are other choices), I saw a great deal of valuable information. But later, on another check, I came across a really dreadful little mistake on a basic matter. On page 11 Meltzer says these two things about adverbs and adjectives:"Adverbs modify verbs, phrases, and other adverbs.""Adjectives modify (pro)nouns and other adjectives."Well, adverbs also modify adjectives! This ought to be said, and isn't. "A very beautiful sunset." The adverb "very" modifies the noun "sunset" to tell you more about how beautiful the sunset it. Etc.And, as for adjectives modifying other adjectives, this is first of all a contested point. And secondly, the example Meltzer gives does not even qualify.As a good example of what is arguably a case of an adjective modifying another adjective, take "she wore a bright pink dress." This is not the example Meltzer gave. What role is "bright" playing? The dress is pink. Pink is an adjective modifying dress. But is the dress also bright? Is bright also modifying dress? No, it's a bright pink dress. Not a "bright dress," whatever that would be. So what then is "bright"? Normally bright is clearly adjectival. A bright room, a bright day, etc.So in "bright pink," what do we have? Is bright acting adverbially by definition here, since it alters "pink"? Some words do act adjectivally and adverbially. Or is "bright pink" a compound adjective? A phrasal adjective? Or do we really have an adjective modifying another adjective? This is a contested matter, as a visit to Stack Exchange on this topic will show.But to make things even worse, the example given in the book of an adjective supposedly modifying another adjective is . . . not an example of that at all. Meltzer gives "some airports use short, friendly robots . . . " Even if "bright pink dress" can be argued to be an instance of an adj. modifying another adj., "short, friendly robots" can't be construed that way. The robots are friendly. And the robots are short. Both adjectives modify the noun, "robots." The kind of friendliness these robots have is not a short kind of friendliness as opposed to tall friendliness or plump friendliness! So this is not even an example of the kind of phrase that should lead us to wonder if adjectives ever modify other adjectives.Finally, it makes much more sense to introduce adjectives first, then adverbs, since adverbs sometimes modify adjectives.I realize that many grammar topics someone my age might have learned from Warriner's long ago don't really feature in the SAT, and I know that the grammar I learned long ago doesn't actually cover everything we do in English and that evolution in it is reasonable. But to leave out a basic fact about adverbs and then to garble a contentious issue in adjectives is just not helpful, and someone trying to help you score well on the SAT shouldn't confuse readers in this way.That said, I want to love this book because, for instance, the discussion of categories of transition words is quite good, and I will continue to look through it and will decide whether to keep it. But a mistake like this one shakes a reader up.As a result I'm going to evaluate another book, called SAT and ACT Grammar Mastery, by Christian Heath. It's new and has no reviews, but he lets you look inside a lot in the preview and so far I like what I see.I suppose I'll end by mentioning that I'm the author of a Latin curriculum for children, so thinking grammar issues through in detail in order to present them clearly is something I've had to do, and I sympathize with the labor and difficulty involved in doing it. I hope Meltzer will correct this error and that this is an isolated occurrence in a reliable series.As I learn more about both books I may come back and adjust this review.
