What do you think of:
2-This is his second book which tries to show that A is B. Like the first one, it fails.
(This question sort of follows the one I had psoted yesterday.) |
In my opinion, your original sentence is acceptable, though Cas's restatement is much better.
The second question gets us into a bit of the AE/BE divide. In AE, we almost always confine "which" to nonrestrictive clauses, set off by commas. If, however, we operate under BE rules, your sentence implies that he has written a previous book on the same subject. If you add a comma after "book", that implication is no longer present. :wink:
