Amusing book about punctuation. Amazing to think such a read even exists! Although, I am a supporter of the Oxford comma, I do understand Lynne's thoughts on it. I shall agree to disagree. If you love language, and grammar, you'll probably enjoy this book. I did.

4 Stars = Outstanding. It definitely held my interest.

Sarah Glad you enjoyed this title too, Diane. Like you, I'm also a fan of the Oxford comma!

I don't know what we'd do without it! ... lol


Fiona If you love language and grammar, Diane, you would enjoy David Crystal’s ‘By Hook or By Crook’ (sorry, not clever enough to know how to add a link in a comments field!).


Jenna I LOVE the Oxford comma; it drives me nuts when people don't use it!
