[PHL - Patrick's Healthy Lifestyle · Rating 4 out of 5]

Even though I'm still reading this book I have given it four stars as I have loved every minute of it. If it had every word that I was looking for then I would have given it five stars.

Some parts are so good that I have read them again and again. Or maybe it's because my powers of recall were lacking at times.

It is a great bedside read - handy size to pick up and handle while laying in bed.

I have owned other editions of the dictionary before... never finished those ones either. Is it just me or is the dictionary a book to be savoured rather than rushed through from beginning to end? Come to think of it, I started this book somewhere in the middle.

Love the fact it uses Brit spellings of words and contains Aussie slang.
This one is a keeper.
