I only read this a month ago & enjoyed it very much. I'd put it off because of all the hype but I'm glad I finally got to it.My Review
I loved this book, both print and audio especially good.
I finished this book last week, and thoroughly enjoyed it. I especially liked that on the one hand, the author was so true to the documented history of the compilation of the dictionary, but on the other hand she was prepared to do some fairly surprising things with her fictional characters. While it engaged my brain, it didn't capture my emotions quite as strongly, which was a surprise. Still a really good read though.

I read it a little while ago, liked it and appreciated the work that went into it. But I didn't love it.https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
