Review: A fun reference - I bought this for my teen daughter who, as a bit of a literalist, sometimes struggled with idioms. I have found myself also enjoying this book. I like that it’s a normal sized book, making it a bit more portable than some other reference material. Both my daughter and me find ourselves reading this and getting “lost” in the idioms we don’t know. Of course, we could add plenty as language and idioms always are changing, but there are several “old school” idioms that can be appreciated, perhaps especially -though not exclusively - older populations looking for a trip through memory lane. This book is a great tool for increasing general knowledge and increasing speaking styles. It has also been helpful for catching pop cultures references perhaps otherwise missed, and has increased wit when speaking playfully with others.
Review: Invaluable to a writer - I have found this book to be very helpful for verifying usage of words and idioms according to their dates of origin, for writing historical fiction.
