5.0 out of 5 stars Invaluable for writing better English, 14 Dec 2005

By	100wordreviewer (Kiev) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

When my old Roget's wore out, I hesitated to buy another – aren't there free on-line services which do the same thing? Wrong. The Penguin Reference Roget's is infinitely superior to the on-line thesaurus services. By narrowing down the scope of the word you're looking for in the index (eg "tired" is subdivided into "inactive", "sleepy" or "fatigued") you rapidly reach exactly the synonyms or related words you're looking for. If you want to improve your English vocabulary and write with concision and style, the printed book remains unbeatable. It's also fun to browse, and makes a great gift.

Conclusion: after 150 years, still a powerful writing tool.

2.0 out of 5 stars A labyrinth., 12 Jun 2007

By	Mike Anderson (Scandinavia) - See all my reviews

This book follows all features of the makings of a good maze; you choose an entry and follow it. Then, you make a choice of what sub-route to follow. This procedure is repeated over and over again until you end up in a room that is a pool of hundreds of words, where you forget what led you here in the first place while you are drowning. This is not a tool, this deserves a whole subject of study itself.
