A great little book that will be relevant as long as intelligible grammar exists.

I had bought this book for my daughter, as we both find certain punctuation mistakes and the resulting difference they make to sentences, hilarious. I imagined this book would be full of one line sentences with humorous errors, that you could just dip into but, instead, it was page upon page of full text, making it overbearing. Just my opinion, of course.

I read this book while working in publishing and after a few years of FB decided I needed to reread it to assure myself it was them and not me.

I bought this book for some insight into grammar. I've never been the best with apostrophes and semi-colons. I figured that this could be useful. And it was NOT what i was expecting. I actually laughed. It is useful, and although i havent finished it yet, it's definatly beneficial. Lynne complains about how apostrophes are becoming has-bins and need to be brought back into the spot light. Definatly worth buying, even if you're overly literate and educated in the ways of enlgish grammar. 5/5 :D
The points on punctuation are valid and some examples very interesting, but all in all the book is far too wordy and self indulgent. Editing is sorely needed!
