5.0 out of 5 stars
One of the best on the market
This is a great thesaurus. Easy to read, easy to understand. If you are looking for a top notch, high quality, inexpensive thesaurus, this is the book for you. I recommend this highly without reservation.

This reference book is terrible!
I wish I had bought the Roget's International version. There are so few synonyms in this thesaurus--and if I want definitions, I'll use the dictionary. Synonyms: worthless, useless, stink-o

I don't know about this edition, but 1st was crap. Try...,

Buy "The Synonym Finder" if you want a REALLY good thesaurus. I am only familiar with the first edition of "Roget's II," but I consider that edition to be among the worst volumes in print.

Terrible choices; Not thorough enough.,

I do NOT recommend this reference book. It has very little synonyms and merely takes up shelf space.

This review is from: Roget's II: The New Thesaurus (Hardcover)
While the storyline is not great, it does explain all the words in alphabetical order.The description of antidisestablishmentarianism was most enlightening though. The ending was a little predictable, the build up to a description of zytoplasm disappointing. A little more imagination required here, I could find no reference to common terms such as bum bandit, hand shandy, shirt lifter and fudge nudgers. |
