I really did want to like this book. However, first of all, it's mean spirited. I'm a stickler, and I'm comfortable with that. But I do not need to see those who are not sticklers put down and repeatedly called illiterate in order to feel better about myself.And that's not the only problem. It is appalling to see someone who is belittling others for their ignorance then point out that she herself is not a grammarian and believes that knowledge of subordinate clauses "is not a prerequisite for caring about where a bracket is preferred to a dash, or a comma needs to be replaced by a semicolon." Actually, you cannot properly punctuate a complex or compound-complex sentence unless you understand subordinate clauses--they often need commas, and many of her subordinate clauses are incorrectly punctuated. You also need grammar to understand that commas should not be between the verb and its direct object, between a preposition and its object, etc. Without a firm understanding of grammar, it is impossible to even discuss why a comma should or should not be in a particular place in a sentence.I don't ordinarily go around pointing this out about someone's writing in reviews, but since the entire purpose here is to discuss punctuation, it seems appropriate.She also makes a huge deal about some movie called Two Weeks Notice and how she feels that the title needed an apostrophe. Again, knowledge of grammar comes in handy here: the argument can be made that in that phrase, "two weeks" is descriptive, not possessive, and therefore, no apostrophe is necessary.All in all, I'm not happy with this book, and I wish I had checked it out from the library instead of buying it.
Hilarious. Well-written. Instructive at times.I can't remember the last time I laughed so hard at a book. She has some really clever insight into grammar without being overcome by cynicism.It is interesting to read about the state of grammar in the UK as well. It really defies the stereotype that many Americans have about Brits being stuffy and proper all the time.Even though it isn't a grammar guide, she does offer some tips on usage. I was pleased she clarified the semicolon and colon issue and included several examples. At the same time this wasn't a "montage" of real-world grammar blunders with her corrects and/or snide comments, either.But if you enjoy reading about grammar for fun at all, you'll probably enjoy this book. And even if not, you still might appreciate her witty and sardonic style.And yes, she probably would disapprove of me starting my sentences with "and"...
I bought the book with the advice of a co-worker and accidentally bought the audio CD version/format of the book. My mistake was fortuitous and I have never been happier. The audio format (CD) is a pure delight to listen to as I commute to and from work each day. The people who made the disc did a wonderful job. Very interesting as well as entertaining. I will buy more audio books after this one.Love the book!
One would not expect a book on grammar and punctuation to be hilarious, but Truss brings laughter to almost every page. As one of those annoying people who cannot help but point out grammatical errors in public print (menus and grocers and ebooks, oh my!), I found a kindred spirit in Truss. I only wish she had provided her email address, so I could share with her the most egregious of the sign-errors I see every day. Every Grammar-phile should read this book, and keep it on her person for constant reference. Non Grammar-philes should read this book to learn the love of clarity in writing - and to pick up tools with which to defend it. You, too, could be one of those annoying people, confronting the abuse of quotation marks in greengrocers everywhere!
It's refreshing to read a book by an author who has such an obvious love of written language and all its nuances. To make it even better, Ms Truss has infused the entire work with wit and humor. I especially liked the way she was able to weave in a sense of the history of punctuation and its impact on written English, and I share her concern for the future of all these points, stops, and marks. This is a book to savor again and again.
My ability to puctuate correctly was adequate, but I wanted to be better. I got this book and found it to be an enirely enjoyable read; it gives you confidence to use even the the more unusual punctuation marks correctly......and it's humerous too boot!While the author is from the UK and explains usage common in that region, she also remarks on US usage where it differs. I was surprised to learn that there were regional differences and also that the proper use of punctuation marks is changing--and it always has over time.In addition to being a book that comments on the use (or common misuse) of proper puctuation it is also organized in such a way that people who write can reference a certain item (do you have to use a period after Mr?) and read up if they have a question.People writing e-books might especially appreciate this as many write without an editor; a fun book that makes punctuation accessible without suffering through Strunk and White is very welcome.
If you have doubts a book about punctuation can be clever, entertaining, funny and educational all at the same time, read this one. I have given it as a gift to many of my reader friends and it has never failed to please. Short example and supposedly true story: A famous writer, on his death bed, uttered the following final six words, "I should have used fewer semi-colons." You gotta love it.
