After Eats Shoots and Leaves, expected this to be good, but was a big disappointment.

On its way to Magika.

Received today, thank you very much, maid-of-kent!

I loved "Eats, Shoots and Leaves" and naturally had high hopes of this book, not only because the last book was both funny and educational, but also because I think people are becoming more rude than I would like. Sadly, this book was neither funny nor particularly interesting. Truss does make some valid points, but more often than not I find myself strongly disagreeing with her (especially concerning the Internet and DIY services). I don't know if this has something to do with me being 30 years younger than her or the fact that I'm not British, but a lot of the behaviour she sees as rude, I don't think twice about.
I also felt there were a lot of unnecessary references to "Eats, Shoots and Leaves".
