Book Reviews of Eats, Shoots & Leaves: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation
Book Review: This book is brilliant.
Summary: 5 Stars
I laughed, I howled, and I immediately wanted to join the militant wing of the apostrophe society. This is great stuff: genuine, heartfelt, and rousing. Literates- stand up for your rights! (then have a nice sit down again; no need to get too physical). I once got a job I was dangerously unqualified for simply because I used a semicolon correctly in the application letter. Hmm, perhaps that is a cautionary tale. Anyway, in this book I particularly liked the theory that there is a constant balance of apostrophes in the world because they are so often missing or superfluous.
Buy this for any reader you know- you will delight them.
