Indispensable for students of English literature,
This review is from: 21st Century Synonym and Antonym Finder (21st century reference) (Mass Market Paperback)
Those who study English literature or are involved in translations need to widen their terminology and constantly improve their linguistics. I personally achieved this with numerous dictionaries and one of them was certainly the 21st Century Synonym and Antonym Finder. With its concise and accurate definitions one easily finds the perfect term and also keeps it in mind - and that is also of great importance. With finishing my studies of foreign languages and their literatures, I have been mostly involved in translations and thus been forced to rummage considerably through books and dictionaries - believe me you will find this book indispesanble once you have it.

Hard to come by,
This review is from: 21st Century Synonym and Antonym Finder (21st century reference) (Mass Market Paperback)
A good antonym "finder" or "dictionary" is very hard to come by. This is the exception. And it doesn't just offer one obscure antonym for each word in the "dictionary" that barely seems to meet the definition. In many cases it offers several. For example, for quotation/quote, it offers four: paraphrase, recapitulation, restatement, summary.
I think this little book is the best of its kind.

Worth having to improve your writing and vocabulary.,
By "justiss" (Stumptown, WV United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 21st Century Synonym and Antonym Finder (21st century reference) (Mass Market Paperback)
It's right on my desk between my dictionary and thesarus where it belongs. When I can't think of the right word - which happens - it's there. I've used it as much as the other two.
