Opis

'Eats, Shoots & Leaves' adopts a militant approach to punctuation and attempts to recruit an army of vigilantes who will send letters back with the punctuation corrected, not accept sloppy emails, and climb ladders with pots of paint to remove redundant apostrophes from signs.

Recenzje

'A punctuation repair kit. Passionate and witty...fresh and funny.' Independent

'If Lynne Truss were Roman Catholic I'd nominate her for sainthood.' Frank McCourt

'I laughed, I howled, and I immediately wanted to join the militant wing of the Apostrophe Society. This is great stuff: genuine, heartfelt and rousing.' Jenny Colgan

'Enchanting, full of jokes and anecdotes and information. It makes you love punctuation; you want to conserve what is left and perhaps call for more of it.' Sunday Telegraph

'It can only be a matter of time before the government seizes the chance to appoint [Truss] minister for punctuation. The manifesto is already written.' Guardian

'Truss deserves to be piled high with honours.' John Humphrys, Sunday Times

'Worth its weight in gold.' Independent
