Negative Positive
Title: Questionable
Review: I am not a native speaker of any language except English, so I cannot evaluate the veracity of these words. The entries look interesting, though often verbose. The chapters are not very helpful, though I don't know how else you would lay out a book like this. That brings up the index as the only remaining tool to tie the book together. However, the author has unfortunately used the index to promote the sources of her words (this could and should have been a line-entry under each word).With no way to find the words you are looking for; nothing to tie the multitude of entries of this book together, the best I can give it is two stars. Without an exceptional index this book cannot stand as a "wordsmith's reference"; indeed, the best it can be is interesting or quirky.There must be better books out there.
Is the review positive or negative?
