I haven't read it, but it's very highly recommended over at Fiction Alley. I've been meaning to read it, but I haven't got around to purchasing a copy.

Wonderful book. Absolutely marvelous. :D

Lynne Truss is the goddess of punctuation.

I recently bought the book, so that I'd have some form of a grammar class this year (I'm being homeschooled), and read it in a few hours.

It's hilarious, and yet great for learning how to improve your punctuating skills. :)

I own a copy of that very book! It is very funny. :) I have become a bit of a punctuation stickler after reading that book, though the typo demon still likes me. :roll:

I have it. It's awesome. It's funny, plus I learned that no one can ever complain about me using a comma before the and when I list things (this, that, and the other thing). So stop correcting it, you stupid English teachers! :P

I only read the first part of it before it disappeared somewhere in the black hole that is my house, but I did love it. Then again, I'm a serious grammar freak.

I need to find that book again. :P

Best book ever! :D I love it, I'm currently reading it again, for the umm....I've lost count of how many times I have read it. It's great. ^_^

Strangely enough, I can think of books I'd prefer to read in the small amount of reading time I actually have.

The only time I've ever had my punctuation corrected within a piece of schoolwork was my drama portfolio- and only because I wrote it by hand; so a full stop looked like a comma ^_^

I was just asking Stu about that earlier (like he'd know). I always put that extra comma there, but no one else seems to, so I wonder about it.

As a book, I haven't read it, and I could take it or leave it, really. Not high on my list of books to buy, but if I see it sometime I might pick it up.
