5.0 out of 5 stars Explains that English is more than just words in a dictionary
Reviewed in the United States on September 18, 2009
I checked this book out of a library to do a report and found a wealth of information on communication, culture, the history of English and how languages change over time.

4.0 out of 5 stars A lack luster encounter with rapture.

Sure, you could say that this book is full. But you could say the same about my mouth after a few hours in the club. Long, short, wide, skinny. Size is relative to the quality of work I do when I put my mouth to the test. But this book isn't much. It's like a girl who's letting her teeth get involved. Like a guy who's a little scared to be on his knees. Domination isn't for the faint of heart, and this book certainly doesn't deliver. If I come looking for a book... I want something to come to again and again and anticipate a satisfying read every time. But I was left wanting, each time.
