Snopsis:
Anxious about the
apostrophe? Confused by the comma? Stumped by the semicolon? Join Lynne Truss
on a hilarious tour through the rules of punctuation that is sure to sort the
dashes from the hyphens.
We all had the basic rules
of punctuation drilled into us at school, but punctuation pedants have good
reason to suspect they never sank in. 'Its Summer!' screams a sign that sets
our teeth on edge. 'Pansy's ready', we learn to our considerable interest ('Is
she?') as we browse among the bedding plants.
It is not only the rules
of punctuation that have come under attack but also a sense of why they matter.
In this runaway bestseller, Lynne Truss takes the fight to emoticons and
greengrocers' apostrophes with a war cry of 'Sticklers unite!'
