review 1: I use this book so often I doubt I can give it a review without sounding somewhat bias. I run out of superlatives. As a blogger and a person trying to express myself, I need this book to expand my vocabulary and help me to use words outside of the box. It is a book awash in greatness, beyond equilibrium. It is crazy crafty in its lists of beyond belief superlatives. If you often search for the word in describing good, and want to use something better than "awesome" and "great" then get this book.
review 2: This is a reference book of sorts, but I'm enough of a word nerd that I read it cover to cover, highlighting various winners along the way, in the hopes I can someday insert them into prose or conversation. It's a fun tool for writers and marketers, but I was... more a little disappointed with the ratio of kinda-pushing-it combos ("concussively beautiful" "soul-jiggling" "jaw-breakingly amazing" etc.) vs. antiquated, obscure or otherwise underutilized words. NERD. less
