Customer Reviews

Great book.....but

I agree with the other review. This is a very entertaining and valuable read for anyone who loves the English language. I also agree that pronunciations should have been included because, let's be realistic, these are mainly words we will NEVER hear in normal conversation.

I Always Look up the Word Egregious

I have a small library of this kind of book, but this is the one I always keep by my side whenever I'm reading a book or a more erudite magazine. I gave it a rating of only four stars because I think the author should have included the pronunciation of each word, especially of the more obscure words. I do, however like his style and have found his book to be very helpful without being pretentious.
