Roget's Thesaurus of English Words and Phrases (Penguin Reference Books)

This is an excellent resource. The entries are arranged thematically and have many more possibilities than standard Roget's. Great high school graduation gift.

Hey, we all need a thesaurus from time to time. I don't need it often but, when I do, I'm glad it's on my Kindle. It wouldn't be very good without Kindle's Search feature, but it works well enough as the great reference book that it is.

Unfortunately, Amazon is not shipping the product at the expected expedition date, and as of now, and it has been almost a month they still haven't send it.It is not sure when exact will they have it. Might just cancel it.

Regardless of what you're writing, you will write it better with the aid of this Thesaurus. If you are a non-native speaker of English like me, and you want to expand your vocabulary, buy this book... or alternatively some other Roget's Thesaurus. One of the best things in this book is the fact that you will find what you're looking for very fast.

Roget was born in England of French parentage and made the development of an English Language Thesaurus his life's work. He gained little recognition in his own lifetime but the results of his endeavours have been diligently embellished and supplemented by generations of academics so that now, when we need another word for the one in our mind, when we are seeking a word but it won't come to mind, when we want to put together that "catch phrase" that will bring our customers running to our door, we reach instinctively for Roget's Thesaurus. They're even a standard part of the kit for most Word Processing programs.

Organized both by subject matter and alphabetically, my Thesaurus is a pleasure to dive into. If I have one problem with it, it's that, having found the word I want, I keep reaing for the pure joy of the language. It's my firm belief that Roget has help keep the English language a rich, multi-cultural language that is understood worldwide.
