This fascinating book provides an overview of the history of the English language, focusing on the way it changed over time and what caused these changes. It starts with Caedmon's Hymn (7th century) and goes up through e-mail and the Iraq war. Along the way, it touches on the Norman conquest, the Great Vowel Shift, attempts at standardization and dictionary-making, and authors from Chaucer to Shakespeare to Twain to Dickinson. I have to admit that I found the earliest parts of the book to be the most interesting (and I really want to learn Old English now), but that is likely due to my own interests and has nothing to do with the book itself. Lerer explains things remarkably clearly, and at times I was shocked at how much of his sometimes technical explanations I (with no formal linguistics training) could understand. I did have some trouble "hearing" some of the things he was trying to explain about pronounciation, but I don't think that took much away from my enjoyment of the book. My one caveat in recommending it is that I sometimes found myself having trouble keeping track of where he was when I tried to read too much of the book at a time; his chapters stand alone nicely, so make sure you take lots of breaks to process and mull over the wealth of information Lerer provides.

Not my favorite of the Plum novels, but enjoyable none the less.

Don't hate me -- but I LOVED this series. If someone had told me that I -- a 28 year old -- would love books about a high school girl, vampires and werewolves . . . I would have laughed in their face. However . . . they would be right

With all the hype surrounding the book (and the Oprah controversy) I was a little surprised I found it tedious at times. Also funny and rather precise regarding family matters.
Amazing. Great fashion, great relationships, and a little history about the holocaust. My kind of book!
If I ever get beyond a basic single crochet stitch, this book will come in handy. The projects are pretty cool.

I'm struggling with this book because the pace is rather slow, and tying the characters together is difficult.

Allmählich nutzen sich auch bei Pratchett Motive, Figuren und Konstellationen etwas ab. Deswegen ist gerade die erste Hälfte des Buches etwas langwierig und zäh. Danach nimmt die Story Fahrt auf und wird auch Lesern gefallen, die keine Hardcore-Fussball-Fans sind. Fazit: Nicht der beste Pratchett, aber trotzdem nette Unterhaltung.

A delightful book mostly of quotations with some explicatory transitions. Fiction as "laboratories for moral experimentation"p.63 "The earth is not sacred in Abrahamic religions but God's Word is. ... Idolatry was supplanted by bibliolatry" p. 78. Like Salwak's The Wonders of Solitude, this is one of those little books nice to have close at hand for a quick browse.

Another great piece by Suzanne Collins. This was my favorite book in the series.
