The perfect book- it has all the other books in it.

[Zeroh · Rating 2 out of 5]

This was such a boring read...
I am aware that it's a dictionary, and most dictionaries are boring. However, I just simply didn't like the way it described each word. Normally there is more information and little fun-facts in each definition. This book only said the bare minimum. A good resource for understanding words - horrible for reading just for fun.

Couldn't live without it...okay maybe I could, but I wouldn't want to.

Too many words.

[Robert · Rating 2 out of 5]

Yeah, I thought I was kewl because I had an unabridged dictionary. This one lacked many words that I considered common. The reality though, is that if you want an inexpensive unabridged dictionary, this will serve you well.
