4.0 out of 5 stars British buyers beware!, 3 May 2002
By Svein Olav Nyberg "Apeiron" (Grimstad, Norway) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Complete Rhyming Dictionary (Hardcover)
Finding rhymes by phonetics is something you will appreciate in time, and it really isn't all that hard, even for foreigners like myself. The book is large, well-structured, and has a lot of what we are all looking for: Rhymes. Unfortunately, the rhymes are US English rhymes, which means:

1. Wrong phonetics for some words. Try as you might with your British ear, "fire" is not where it's supposed to be.
2. Some words are listed as rhymes that simply don't rhyme in UK English.
3. Some UK English rhymes are listed as non-rhymes, like "forge" and "gorge".

But this is of course a problem with all US made rhyming dictionaries. If you are a US buyer, there is no reason for you not to buy the book.

2.0 out of 5 stars Frustrating and difficult to use., 13 Feb 2001
By A Customer
I am a professional writer, and unlike the other reviewers here, I found the arrangement by phonetic sound confusing and difficult to use. My son--a 14-year-old aspiring songwriter and poet--for whom I originally bought this book, found it so annoying and frustrating that he gave it back to me--in exchange for my copy of Rosalind Fergusson's Penguin Rhyming Dictionary, which I have been using for years. I now plan to order a second copy of Fergusson, rather than struggle with this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Unless you're Ogden Nash, this book is worth the cash., 4 Jul 2005
By bernie "xyzzy" (Arlington, Texas) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)      
Ogden never needed a book to help him rhyme. But we mortals can use some help occasionally. This is more than just a dictionary; it explains several elements to poetry. They call it the Poet's Craft Book. This is not the only book and I am not about to compare, as this is a five star book in its own right. It is well organized and easy to follow.

If you are a pseudo poet then alas, one day this book may cover your (look it up)

It's very sad that vital books have to be "updated" and "revised" to accomodate the writing careers of persons unable to create vital books themselves. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Much easier to use than others.
This rhyming dictionary is arranged by sound, not by spelling. You look up your sound (using standard diacritical markings) and aren't stuck flipping back and forth from one... Read more
