We use them every time we type a sentence or phrase our words but how often are we made aware of the importance of punctuation?
Lynne Truss's book gives a witty and light-hearted take on the uses of punctuation. True enough, there are other punctuation guidebooks out there, but none so serve to tickle your senses as this one.
It provides a fun introspective view to all things that punctuate and is indeed a must have for any writer.
Highly recommended for those who have a love-hate relationship with punctuation. A rare delight of a book made possible by someone trained in the field of journalism. Hopefully, you'll begin to view those hyphens and colons in a new light.
