5.0 out of 5 stars
If you appreciate the English language.....,
By r e fredrickson (Halifax, Nova Scotia Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Points of View (Paperback)
A wonderful, fun book to read--a collection of his essays--some dated, but that doesn't matter. We Canadians know he has a tendency toward pomposity--more importantly, he knows that and obviously enjoys milking that to its fullest. He is a brilliant observer with a slanted lens who is truly a wordsmith to the utmost power. Whether or not you agree with his point of view (and I tend to more often than not), you appreciate the English language more because of his command of it. Wonderfully funny--with diction to die for--Murphy makes us laugh at ourselves. I have given it to several friends who agree.
