I found the book to be a humorous attack on bad punctuation. All of us who cringe at misplaced commas and bad verbiage will be gratified by the entertaining, at times irreverent, words of Ms. Truss.

Great book! Elucidates punctuation's nuances, history, and arguments and gives logical explanations of usage through practical examples. I also like that she differentiates between the UK's and American modalities. Uses a lot of elegant humor to drive home her points. I was delighted to find that the author created a workbook. I definitely could use it.
