“For a book about grammar, it's very entertaining. Truss is a bit smug, though - isn't she? (and she would definitely correct my punctuation in that last sentence, wouldn't she?)”

“It's difficult to write about something as dry as punctuation in a humorous manner, and Truss has managed it. I wouldn't recommend it to someone who is well and truly flummoxed about where to stick an apostrophe; there are more accessible beginners' guides out there, but this is a fun read for people who already know their punctuation and who might well call themselves sticklers. Yup. That's me.”
