Book Review of More Things You Need to Be Told: A Guide to Good Taste and Proper Comportment in a Tacky, Rude World

reviewed Cute but Annoying on + 5 more book reviews
Helpful Score: 1


This is a decent etiquette book, and I like the style of the writing -- it's like a younger, hipper Miss Manners. The annoying thing is that the Etiquette Grrls capitalize significant nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs in every sentence. For example:

"The Etiquette Grrls are Most Fond of American and British Literature written Between the Wars."

or

"If you're Pouring Wine or Serving Drinks, serve the Girls first."

If you're fine with that, you'll probably enjoy this book. I found it irritating, but YMMV.
