Disappointing
Derived From Web , Dec 27, 2021
I lost a Roget's Thesaurus in the past and thought I'd get a new one. I don't think a writer would use this one. When you' re looking for a perfect word, a thesaurus is where you go. You have to check antonyms. You check for words that are similar to what you' re thinking. This book does not do that. I am not sure what it is good for. I can't recommend it. To anyone, very few writers.

Not useful for me as a writer
Derived From Web , Jun 13, 2021
I had high hopes for this thesaurus, but it is not very useful. Imagine if this book didn't include the word beautiful, which is much less popular than other words. When I picked up this book to look up a word, it wasn't included, so I stopped using it.

Wish i read the reviews before purchasing
Derived From Web , Apr 1, 2019
The cover of this book is evocative. Most of the basic words you would use in order to find their more descriptive bretherine aren't present. Is it nervous? I don't think so. Are you anxious? I'm not familiar with this place. What's a surprise? It was a surprise! Is this panic? Please, please. The book would be better if it were exactly the same but with more basic emotions. The index is in alphabetical order with the page numbers bolded. There are some great root words in this book. Happy, Angry, love, kill. It would be easier to navigate if there was more mord. There is a question about why the first root word is M. Who doesn't know? Maybe it's time for a revision.

I Wish I'd Read the Reviews First
Derived From Web , Mar 29, 2019
Not at all what I need or want. It was poorly organized. There are no instructions on how to use it. I wish I could return it.

Difficult to Use!
Derived From Web , Feb 2, 2018
It wasn't what I expected. There is no rhyme or reason to the word list in this book. Abuse is the first word, followed by Achievement and then Aggrandizement, which part of speech the word is, followed by a list of synonyms. Some of the obscure words on the lists would make it difficult to read, and be unfamiliar to many readers. This is the most difficult book I have ever read. Don't buy it if you' re looking for ease of use. It does have the words listed in an index in the back of the book, but since they are in random order rather than sequential, it would have been more convenient for a writer to find them at the beginning. The experience of trying to use this book was time consuming. I'm sorry, I wasted my money.

Not very comprehensive
Derived From Web , Jan 5, 2018
A poorly organized book is what this is. Common words that I am looking to change are usually not found in the content. In point. There are alternatives to upset, rage, or cold that are missing from the book. These are really basic words that should be included. They spend a lot of time listing off verbs and other words. similar words I am a short story writer and I find this book to be very frustrating to use.

Not the best fit for me
Derived From Web , Mar 8, 2017
I'm not going to get a lot of use out of this guy. I'm afraid I' ll look like a pretentious ass if I use some of the great new words.
