Synopsis
In the blockbuster bestseller EATS, SHOOTS, AND LEAVES, Lynne Truss took on the deplorable state of modern grammar and punctuation use. Now, she decries the lack of common courtesy in everyday interactions in this brief manifesto against bad manners, describing six major areas where politeness appears to have entirely broken down. While the book is not an etiquette guide, the various illustrations of her main theme--that most contemporary forms of rudeness stem from a refusal to take personal responsibility for one's actions--give direction toward creating a more civilized future society.

Publisher's Note

Industry reviews
"Truss expounds on...[her] themes with fine ire, mordant humor and many examples." Publishers Weekly  (10/03/2005) "Polls indicate that people always think their world is becoming ruder....But rarely does anyone...go into such denigrating detail with such unmitigated glee....Long Live the Queen of Zero Tolerance. And heaven help the rest of us." New York Times Book Review - Marilyn Stasio (12/11/2005) "[A]s lessons go, Lynne Truss's are witty, teasing and thought-provoking." Times Literary Supplement - E. S. Turner (11/18/2005)
