"More pleasure than a Mae West movie. Once again Lederer has led the way to Laughland." -- Eugene Maleska

5.0 out of 5 stars
A hilarious look at the trippings of English usage.,
By A Customer
This review is from: More Anguished English: an Expose of Embarrassing Excruciating, and Egregious Errors in English (Mass Market Paperback)
The biggest trouble I have is trying to read this book in public. I laugh out loud and have tears in my eyes. I'm sure on lookers worry that someone should be calling the white coats out for me. The Lederer books are all a gem for anyone, but the more well read you are, the more you appreciate this digest of mis-statements and bloopers.

Belly Laughs,
By Jo Brunt (Sleepy Hollow) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: More Anguished English: an Expose of Embarrassing Excruciating, and Egregious Errors in English (Mass Market Paperback)
After you read about page of these bloopers, you'll begin to get that uncontrollable laughter that really shakes up your insides and brings tears to your eyes. That's the time to stop and save the rest for tomorrow because laughs like that you should have every day.

Funny or not, here I come!,
This review is from: More Anguished English: an Expose of Embarrassing Excruciating, and Egregious Errors in English (Mass Market Paperback)
Though Richard Lederer writes and introduces his books beautifully, the series of these books, in which the author shares a collection of English errors, I found it not to be as entertaining as I thought or hoped it would. That is not to say that they are not a good buy, but rather, that whether you will find this book funny or not, is a very subjective point of view.
For some, it will merely put a smile on their face, other will have some giggles, and still some more, will convulse with laughter. Buy it or not, It will be subjective. There is nothing that would have prepared me ahead of time... so again, it is a matter of taste and what you may find funny.
