Being a copywriter by profession, I thought this book would be an interesting and educative read. Well, educative it is...but definitely not as interesting as I thought it would be. Queen’s English, anyone?
A funny look at how lax people are with punctuation these days, Lynne Truss has written about where to use the right dots, dashes and apostrophes.
Like, in the title itself, if you put a comma by mistake after the word eats, the meaning of the sentence changes completely. Like this, there are many more examples in this book, as it makes quite a song and dance about punctuation.
Do read it only if you happen to borrow it from somewhere, it is not worth spending your money on.
It tends to ramble a bit towards the end...and that is when you rally want it to finish but it just goes on and on.
An unusual but strictly average read.
