A quite wonderful little book. This got onto my long-list because of these glowing reviews from James , Nikki and Paul . As James says:
There can be few better recommendations for any book than that you continuously feel the need to read excepts out to those around you, no matter what they are doing (or what else they are trying to read themselves). "Oh, this one is great."; "Just this one and I'll stop."; "Ah, wait, this one is really good too."
I did the same myself, at length. Did you know that avocados are testicles? And we're all part of the human gene chicken? And that if you called a Nazi a Nazi they would beat you up? And that the Bluetooth on your phone is a Viking? I read this on my lunchbreak, devouring the bitesize chapters along with my canteen spam'n'chips... and I couldn't wait to get home and tell my wife the funny little snipped that had stuck in my mind that day. Each mini-chapter delves into the amusing anecdotes that lay behind everyday words, and end by linking that word on to a new word which will be the focus of the next chapter.Great idea - flawless execution - five stars from me!
