Title: Entertaining and great for writers!
Review: I picked this book up for fun, but halfway through it realized that it would give a lot of authenticity to my writing, especially dialog. (I am an aspiring writer.) I didn't enjoy it any less after figuring that out -- if anything, I enjoyed it more! It's very readable, not at all like a dictionary. It's more like a popular history.I am planning on using this with my fifth-graders and asking them to pick a chapter and write dialog based on the words from one decade.I'm also planning on ordering a couple as Christmas presents!
