I was intrigued by the title of the book and the humor that it promised. I could picture a panda having a meal at a restaurant, shooting up the place and leaving. Eats, Shoots & Leaves left me wanting.
Lynne Truss uses funny examples to teach punctuation. Even with humor, punctuation is a dry subject and I found myself struggling to finish the book. I wondered what was wrong with me, as this book is a New York Times #1 Best Seller. I am a Monty Python fan, so it cannot be the British humor.
Truss was quoted that this “is not a grammar book it gives you permission to love punctuation.”
I appreciate the permission to love punctuation, but I didn’t love this book.
