## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    A delight
  

*by M***M on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 16, 2016*

This book follows in the tradition of Johnson’s dictionary and Fowler’s The King’s English in adding a flavour of the personal to what might otherwise be pretty dull and descriptive endeavour. The title is of course a wink to Fowler, but Kingsley was in fact informally called “the King” by his inner circle of friends, and biographic information suggests that he cut a pretty regal figure from time to time – certainly in all matters lingual where he was a (rather self-aware) dignitary.The book is a true delight, and any Kingsley Amis fan will smile a lot while reading it – and also learn a great deal about the language that Amis loved so much. I have about 10 books that never leaves my desk – this is one of them.

    Your cranky uncle takes on usage and grammer
  

*by P***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 8, 2015*

Oh, he is such a curmudgeon, and this book is just a treasure. The crabbier he got, the more I loved it. A book to read one or two definitions at a time, then leave out somewhere to open up to a random page every now and then, just to be reminded of how the world is full of ignoramuses and going to hell in a handbasket.

    A bed time reader
  

*by M***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 2, 2013*

A good dip-into book.  Issues are raised one hasn't thought of (and note the preposition at the end is entirely acceptable to Sir Kingsley). Acerbic, opinionated certainly, and frequently amusing.  It helps to be an Amis fan or sympathiser to guess what to expect and learn and chuckle simultaneouly
