It's amazing how much of a stir a book about punctuation can create! Written in a humorous style this book provides lessons in punctuating English. While these may be basic lessons that used to be taught in English Grammar in school the book clearly demonstrates that such lessons were never completely understood or are no longer taught. I liked Lynne Truss and her writing style in her sports columns and she has produced a competent book that makes a dry subject bearable. Unfortunately, the people likely to read this book are not the ones who needs its content most!
