    Punctuation in the right places

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

  • Most critical review

    Not what I expected.

    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.

  • Good book if it’s what you’re interested in.

    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.

  • Far too wordy

    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!

  • Not what I expected.

    I actually though that this book will help me more with my grammar issues but it just makes me aware that there are many of them... something without pointing out which should be the correct answer.
