review 1: Was a little bit disappointed to see the end of the book so soon. Whilst at times it did become a tad annoying to see the same idioms used over in different chapters (I probably saw a few of them at least 3 or 4 times throughout the book) the book was still enjoyable and an easy read. My only gripe with the idioms was that they were only from the same few countries. I would've loved to have seen more from different locations in the world.
review 2: Definitely, as many other reviewers have said, a bathroom book. List-y, but thought-provoking, especially when I think in terms of the other world I'm trying to bring to life. Language isn't complete without idiom, and I'm trying to think of that when I write dialogue now, so definitely worth a look for me. I woul... moredn't recommend it so highly for serious linguists, but pretty good for a word nerd like me. less
