It was okay. Maybe 2.5. Liked how I gained some understanding of how the first real dictionary was created - something I'd never thought about but liked reading about. However, I think I would have liked reading just a long article about the making of the dictionary and Professor Murray and Dr. Minor's lives. A book was just too long and the parts that actually held my interest were too few and far between. I found myself plodding through instead of really enjoying it.

Fascinating and well-written. The only reason it's not one of my five star books is because it didn't make me laugh out loud.

I really liked this book. It is such an interesting story.
The movie was very good even though it didn’t exactly follow the true story.
