This book was full of wit and humor and is a must read for anyone who gets frustrated with people at times. Lynne Truss puts everyday complaints in down-to-earth language, and it will be wonderful when the world begins to adopt her sentiments!

Ms Truss is a British writer, radio personality and has written this book due to the absolute rudeness of many people today. It is quite funny and she makes so many points it does make us want to stay home and bold the door. Great book for 'tweens and teens. Humor and an actual explanation why we don't like whateverrrrrr.

A humorous look at rudeness. It's a quick, enjoyable read. It isn't groundbreaking or even enlightening, but made me feel better about saying, "People really ARE rude!"

A little scrambled/fragmented, but overall a fun book. If you like Judith Martin, you'll probably like Lynne Truss.

Really enjoyed it, but as punctuation in also my pet peeve, I enjoyed it a tad less than Eats, Shoots & Leaves. Truss is a wonderful writer who is fun to read and this book really makes you stop to consider some things, surprisingly your own actions rather than the actions of others.

I liked the message(s) she was trying to get across, what she had to say and share, I just didn't like the way she wrote it! I don't like her 'style' of writing.

Love this book. It has a few big words but they are appropritly used, and placed in the book. It is very informative with a slight twist of humor. Wonderful wonderful book.

Lynne Truss is my hero; this book, like her others, is a dead on summation of our world today. I laughed until I snorted. A wonderful read; I highly recommend it!
