Title: Anguished English is an anguishing read.
Product review: As an English teacher and a linguist by hobby, I was excited to recieve this for a long plane ride. Thank goodness I couldn't wait and started reading early. It would have been really sad to have dragged Anguished English overseas instead of something that's actually entertaining. This book is somewhat interesting, and has at least two pages worth of excerpts humorous enough to share with a class, but I feel that for so little real humor, I wasted my money buying an entire book. Now I must confess, I've only read half the book (trying to find the stamina to continue), so I just might find a few more funny pages, but so far I'm disappointed, and if I weren't a teacher, I wouldn't finish or keep the book at all. It's all right, but it's simply not the side-splittingly funny book I was led to expect.
