I enjoy this book because it has captured the essence of idiomatic communication with relatively few entries. It's a great starter. I used it for preparing one of my courses. I am also considering putting up an idioms page on my website and will probably include most of the idioms in this book, with my own comments. The book is worth the money.

I have been studying English since I was a kid. I can say that almost everything I learned was through self study, and I think people who have been learning English the same way I have would agree to the point that nothing is better than having good reference books especially that ones relating to idioms and phrasal verbs.

I am not afraid of rating this book as excellent because every time I need it there is an answer. I have recently bought some other books from Amazon.com (business books) and when I am challenged by what seems to be an idiom I look up in the dictionary and... THERE IT IS!!!

I strongly recommend it and also the following books from Longman: Language Activator, Dictionary of Contemporary English and Phrasal Verbs Dictionary.

I'm a high school student from Asia.
I've learned the idiom "toss your cookies" from this book.
I like the phrase "beat it!", hehehe...
This book is awesome. It's worth the price.
Thanks Longman.
