    I'm not quite sure what this says about me, but I found this book about punctuation rather amusing and enjoyable. I think you have to be what I've affectionately heard called a "grammar guru" to appreciate this book: someone who routinely finds (and gets frustrated) with punctuation, spelling, and grammar errors in books, letters, and Internet posts. If you're thinking "Hey, I resemble that remark!", then this book is for you. Or if you're just curious about the proper uses of the semi-colon, then you might find this book helpful. It's worth noting that the author, and content, are British, but as an American, I had no trouble following along; in fact, I felt that it added color (or colour) to the book. Be forewarned, though: you may find yourself paying a lot more attention to the punctuation you use, after reading this book.

문장 부호라는 심각한 주제에 대중이 쉽게 접근할 수 있도록 격식을 차리지 않은 채 경쾌한 어조로 써내려간 흥미로운 책. 이 책은 영국에서 <올해의 좋은 책>으로 선정되기도 했으며, 문법책으로는 드물게 50주 연속 <뉴욕타임즈> 베스트셀러 순위에 들었다.

인터넷, 이메일, 휴대 전화의 문자 메시지 등을 통해 언어 파괴 현상이 심화함에 따라 문장 부호들은 이제 멸종 위기에 처하게 되었다. 이 책에서 전직 편집부 직원이었던 저자는 세련미와 재치가 넘치는 어조로 멸종 위기의 문장 부호들을 되살리기 위한 유쾌한 싸움에 착수한다. 이 책은 문장 부호들을 사랑할 뿐만 아니라 잘못 사용된 문자 부호들로 인해 마음에 상처를 받는 사람들을 위한 책이다. [예스24 제공]
