Excellent Book. Should be required reading for those high school students
in a college prep curriculum.

Great gift for the writer

If you are a lover of the English language, this is a great gift for the writer you know.

You dont have to be that literate
~ Written on Jan 7, 2008. out of 1 users found this review helpful.

I already knew most of the words, which weren't that interesting or useful anyway. It isn't a bad book but not my favorite of the genre.

Great for beginnings and endings

This is not a thesaurus for run of the mill word replacement, but it is exceptional at providing snappy starts or intriguing ending for articles. The key to attracting a reader is capturing him with the opening sentence or paragraph, and the right word can help with this. This book provides those eye catching entries, as well as providing words or phrases that wrap up thoughts and elements in your article body. Well worth the price, I believe it got me a couple of freelance opportunities by spicing up my query letter.
