Title: Made a dull subject very interesting
Product review: THIS REVIEW REFERS TO THE UNABRIDGED AUDIO VERSION:Before reading (well, listening to) this book, I would have found it difficult to believe that the story of the making of a dictionary could be interesting! But it is. It's full of fascinating, if sometimes sad, characters as well as a wealth of information about how the greatest dictionary in the English language came to be (that story, in itself, is amazing).The author's use of language is superb and -- even more astounding -- he reads the book as well as any professional reader (a rare talent!). I simply loved this book!I've already read Winchester's book "The Map That Changed the World," and I can't wait to read ALL his books.
