Review: A great book, very user friendly. - A great book, very user friendly. The definition is very precise, and the examples too. This book works like a mini dictionary. But what makes this book so great is that, a definition is not just presented like so many other word books or lists, but is told in a more user friendly tone, that helps the reader to gain a more insight into how the words should be preceived and used in certain situations. A great asset to anyone that wants a better understanding at the use of the words.

Freshman Student Appreciated This Book
I gave this book to a new High School Freshman. The student began using it immediately. She told me she loves incorporating new words into her school work. As for me, I am to old to recall if I knew most of these words by the time I was thirteen,fourteen. What I do know is that I enjoy reference books, my thesaurus and the exceptional 12" hardbound dictionary that my father gave me to this day!

A Gift for International Relations
A friend of mine from Morocco seemed sad that his English skills weren't quite good enough. I tried to bolster his self-esteem. "After all, you speak fluent French and Arabic. And your English is a bonus." I gave him this book so he could dig a little bit deeper into the English language. Then he showed it to his two teen-age daughters. He says the whole family loves the book. That's good enough for me. I gave the book 4 stars.
