5.0 out of 5 stars Enlightening and inspiring, 29 Jan 2010
By Jens Hintze Holm (Oslo, Norway) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
An unusually well-written and enlightening insight into the problems and thoughts behind invented languages. Anybody with an interest in representation and communication of knowledge and ideas, an area where aspects of linguistics, psychology, logic and computer programming meet, will find this book both interesting and inspiring. It is Arika Okrent's great accomplishment to write a highly readable and entertaining book on this esoteric subject!
