[George · Rating 3 out of 5]

I really had expected more out of this.

The author has a really good vocabulary, but can't develop a character to save his life ... and we won't even get into what I expect he feels is a "post modernist" plot line.

Besides which, who wrote this book anyway? Roget or McCutcheon.

Since I'm a writer, this book is a must in my reference collection. I've referred to it often, especially when I find myself repeating the same word too closely together. It's easy to use, since it's set up like a dictionary. I have to say that this book is great, wonderful, fantastic, special...
