Title: Excellent Punctuation Refresher
Product review: Eats, Shoots & Leaves does a great job of illustrating how bad punctuation can change the meaning of what we write and read. Ms. Truss goes into great detail laying out the basic rules of punctuation and give examples of how punctuation is used incorrectly in everyday life. As part of my job as an Army Officer, I spend countless hours correcting memos and papers. I highlighted several sections of this book that I will share with my subordinates and peers, in an attempt to improve their writing skills. The only reason I did not give it five stars is that the author came off as pretentious. Once I got past past the tone, I found this an enjoyable book. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in improving their punctuation skills and refreshing what they learned (or didn't learn) in grammar school.
