I think I probably need a copy of this book. I'm interested in punctuation and spelling and grammar, whether I apply my knowledge of them or not, so it was worth picking the book up. But once I had, it kept my attention easily.
If you desperately need to study punctuation, this will take a little too long to give you the few rules. But if your need is less than desperate, this will keep you interested and entertained long enough to take them in anyway. I think it's a kick, and I'm delighted that so many other people are more annoyed by bad punctuation than me (the movie Two Weeks Notice drove the author crazy with its lack of an apostrophe after the word "weeks.") |

I loved this book! Not for the content. Not at all. But for the ATTITUDE. For a month after reading it I didn't feel guilty about correcting spelling and grammar on menus. |
