À propos de ce produit

Product Information

"Talk to the hand, 'cause the face ain't listening," the saying goes. When did the world stop wanting to hear? When did society become so thoughtless? It's a topic that has been simmering for years, and Lynne Truss says it's now reached the boiling point. Taking on the boorish behavior that for some has become a point of pride, Talk to the Hand is a rallying cry for courtesy. Like Eats, Shoots & Leaves , Talk to the Hand is not a stuffy guidebook, and is sure to inspire spirited conversation. Why hasn't your nephew ever thanked you for your carefully selected gift? What makes your contractor think it's fine to snub you in the midst of a major renovation? Why do crowds spawn selfishness? What accounts for the appalling treatment you receive in stores (if you're lucky enough to get a clerk's attention at all)? Most important, what will it take to roll back a culture that applauds those who are disrespectful? In a recent U.S. survey, 79 percent of adults said that lack of courtesy was a serious problem. For anyone who's fed up with the brutality inflicted by modern manners (or lack thereof), Talk to the Hand is a colorful call to arms--from the wittiest defender of the civilized world.

Avis les plus pertinents

  • Loveable curmudgeon

    Like Eats Shoots and Leaves, Talk to the Hand offers biting commentary and a brief but relevant history regarding another aspect of our current social conditiion - manners, and the increasing lack thereof. If you enjoyed the first, this should be just as much fun. It gets off to a slow start but be patient as chapter two really lets them have it. This looks like a good two book gift set if you can find both volumes and would be an ideal gift for the sexagenarians in your circle of friends.

  • "How Very Rude!"

    While nothing could ever surpass my love for Lynne Truss's Eats, Shoots & Leaves, this book about the lapse (or possible rearrangement) of manners in 21st century culture is both funny and thoughtful. Truss looks at both concrete examples and sociological explanations for why, among other things, other people's children drive us insane, and does so with her trademark wit. The book does seem to suffer a bit from a lack of the minute focus Truss was able to give to punctuation issues in Eats, Shoots & Leaves, but it is definitely worth reading.

  • Talk to the Hand

    A great book about the importance of manners. Also incredibly funny. The author never over states her point, but points out how human behavior has changed and the effect this change has wrought on contemporary society, mostly for the negative. Also very incredibly funny.
