Summary: Words unusual for their structure -- fascinating!
Comment: Some people don't appreciate the uniqueness of this book, which is fascinating because it presents hundreds of words that are unique for their structure. No other book does this. It points out words that are special, not because of their meanings, but because of the way their letters are arranged. This is the "Guiness Book" of words, for each word has some unusual characteristic. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in words for their own sake. Wonderful!

Summary: You will be better off not buying this book
Comment: I was more than disappointed with this flimsy and rather "sad" book. It is filled with nothing much more than trashy and "cutesy" sayings which do no justice to the English language. Quite possibly the most repeated word in this book is onomatopoeic and it's a pity a suitable descriptive phrase for "don't buy this book" is not blazoned all over the front cover.
