-The bstring library provides rich and memory safe string processing functionality to the C language.
+The Better String Library is an abstraction of a string data type which is
+superior to the C standard library char buffer string type.
+Among the features achieved are:
 
-At the heart of the bstring library is the management of `bstring` objects which are a significant
-improvement over `NULL` terminated char buffers.
+- Substantial mitigation of buffer overflow/overrun problems and other
+  failures that result from erroneous usage of the common C string
+  library functions
+- Significantly simplified string manipulation
+- High performance interoperability with other source/libraries which
+  expect '\0' terminated char buffers
+- Improved overall performance of common string operations
+- Functional equivalency with other more modern languages

 ## Get bstring
 
-The bstring library is available as a binary package in various distributions.
+Another advantage of this fork is that unlike the original, it is widely available as a binary package in various distributions.
 The shared library and development headers can be installed with their respective package manager.
 
-This is the easiest choice if you have the option for your distribution.
