It's an interesting book; one that will take you no time to read. Throughout the book, I discovered the interesting history of punctuation and actually enjoyed it. Who knew where the semi-colon came from. The one problem, however, was that the book made me far to aware of my lack of caring towards 'popular' punctuation. Now, I see the problems everywhere. Although I enjoyed it, this book is not for everyone. Although truly funny and full of anecdotes on everything to do with punctuation, the book sometimes goes a bit too far in the ranting and raving department. I am the first to admit that I sometimes don’t pay too much attention to punctuation. This militant approach to correct punctuation will certainly entertain and educate anyone who feels similarly disconcerted at the deteriorating state of English grammar. Those of you who couldn't care less, however, should probably save your money: Don't expect anyone to ever understand anything you write though!
