Wickedly Funny!
 Customer Rating:  Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5
This is one of the funniest books I have ever read. The superbly humorous collection of malformed English quotations is presented in a manner that is incredibly amusing regardless of your understanding (or lack thereof) of the matters being discussed. A perfect gift for the picky English teacher or anyone for that matter. Definitely worth buying!

It's OK

a few clever snippets, a few good quotes, I've read around so I see a lot of "been done before" stuff, for me the title is still the most memorable bit. I really like the title!

Brilliant

A really fun book. A light witty approach to the english language.

A classic in a class above the rest in its class

This book is obviously a parody of "Eats shoots and leaves" and it's very good. As the title suggests it's about the bad use of English, or is that the use of bad English? Either way, it lists a number of examples of tortured syntax and downright bad grammar, and it does it in a generally off-the cuff manner.

Examples of what not to do include repetition, repetition, switching sentences between being written in the active voice and when you write in the passive voice, and using prepositions to end sentences with. Did I mention repetition?

It also includes a number of examples of celebrity-speak and signs that simply boggle the mind - "Dog for sale - eats anything and likes children" being just one such example.

Well worth a read.


This is the funnny version!
 Customer Rating:  Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5
Quite obviously, this is a pardoy of the hugely popular "Eats, Shoots & Leaves" by Lynne Truss, but let me tell you that this version is by far more enjoyable and is easily worthy of the 5 stars i've awarded.

This book pokes fun (although they insist it's a celebration!) at the strangest language on the planet - English! There are so many issues covered in this book, you'd think that the Englsih language was invented by some drunk fella in your local boozer!

It will even tell you all about Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis - a disese you certainly will have dificulty pronouncing!
