Eats, Shoots & Leaves: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation

Eats, Shoots  &  Leaves: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation - Lynee Truss I read this book in the hopes of reviewing my punctuation, but this read proved to be far more entertaining than simple grammar rules. If you are an American reader, be prepared to have many things about your country, as well as your poor grammar, mocked. I consider myself a bit of a grammar snob (even though I know mine is far from perfect), but Truss definitely put me in my place.This is a challenging book to review, perhaps because it’s so straight forward. I think Truss did a great job of thoroughly cover all of her bases. It is definitely fair to say that this book proved to be helpful guide and refresher for punctuation. Truss provided practical examples to help her read better understand the points she made.What I enjoyed most about this book was the fact that Truss had clearly found her voice. She was intelligent, witty and humorous. If you like your grammar and punctuation rules with a little bit of snark, I highly suggest that you pick this book up.
