Title: Disappointingly incomplete
Review: I bought this dictionary to have handy while reading Willy Voet's book that alleges performance-enhancing drug use in European professional cycling. Voet's book, "Massacre à la chane," presents two notable challenges. First, it contains some ten-dollar words. Second, it contains a variety of idioms and slang.Unfortunately, this dictionary proved virtually useless. When I didn't know a word or an expression, I rarely found it in the dictionary either. That proved true both for the unusual and the idiomatic or slang language.The dictionary is suitable for casual use by tourists who need a quick reference, or for beginning and intermediate students of French.Random House publishes an excellent Portuguese-English dictionary in the same series. It should be able to improve this one in the next edition.
