Title: Horrifically purple prose and very little about punctuation!
Product review: Some of the worst writing I've ever read. And I read a couple of books a month (and have written a variety of materials over the past three decades and develop an eye twitch at the sight of misplaced commas and such). Ms. Truss' main problem is not that she writes in a more convoluted style than Shakespeare, nor is it that she is a stereotypically wordy Limey. It's that it takes her so long to get to a point (and her points are frequently in conflict with the American language so as to render them dangerous) that -- well -- let's put it this way: The entire book is 204 pages long. The introduction ends on page 34! The fact is, I have yet to discover a point to this book. Lovers of punctuation are better off reading the Chicago Manual of Style.
