[irrelevant review-story series]
It’s been such a long time since I was looking for this book & couldn’t find it anywhere, till the day you borrowed it from the uni library; but living with you on those days was so magical that I couldn’t spare it studying this book; I remember skimming through the index while you were sitting there & I wish that I could go back in time & could watch you sipping your morning coffee, instead of losing myself even for a few minutes in those pages. If Only I knew... I never thanked you for the favor. & you’re not here today so that I can tell you that I’ve finally found what I was so fond of... So... Maybe it’s too late... but.. Thank you for your favor. I’ve finally found & read what I’ve been looking for. I wish you could’ve heard it in person. XXX
P.S. About the book: it might not be the best linguistic book ever, but for me, the memories within are worth even more than all the stars. For the text, I’d give 3.5.

Grover Hudson, professor of linguistics @ Michigan State Uni., makes clear what is important or essential & omits what is not in his comprehensive, linguistic textbook. His book is strictly selective, highly structure focused, 2 the point & informative. That`s why I think the book can serve as a study guide as well as the textbook 4 a course! It includes 28 chapters & talks about different fundamental points which can be presented in modern linguistics.

it was a bowl of tasteless Linguistics -__-
I just had a horrible feeling when I was studying it, and unfortunately it's another essential source -_____-
