    • Difficult to Use!
Not at all what I expected. There is no rhyme nor reason to the formatting or word list contained in this book. For example, "Abuse" is the first word, followed by "Achievement" and then "Aggrandizement," which part of speech the word is, followed by a list of synonyms and,antonyms. Among those lists are obscure words that would hinder clarity and ease of reading, and be unfamiliar to many readers. This is THE most difficult book to use I have ever come across. If you're looking of ease of use, don't buy this one. It does have the words as listed in an index in the back of the book, but since they are in random order rather than sequential, as is a dictionary, it would have been far more helpful and logical for a writer to find this list in at the beginning rather than at the end. I found the experience of attempting to use this book frustrating and excessively time consuming. I'm sorry I wasted my money on it! ... show more

    • Not very comprehensive
This is a poorly organized book. The content itself is fine, but common words that I am looking to change or augment are usually not there. case in point; the book is missing entries for alternatives to "upset," "rage," or "cold". These seem like really basic words that should be included. Instead of providing synonyms, they spend a lot of more listing off verbs, adjectives, nouns etc. of similar words. As someone who writes short stories, I find this to be an aggravating book to use. ... show more

    • Not the best fit for me
I'm not going to get as much use out of this guy as I'd hoped. There are some great new words to try out--but most are so outlandish--bordering on pretentious, I'm afraid I'll look like a pompous ass using them.

    • Wish i read the reviews before purchasing
This book is discribed as emotive and evocative on its cover. However most of the basic emotive words you would use in order to find their more descriptive bretherine arent present. Nervous? nope. Anxious? Aint here. Surprise(d)? Surprise! Panic? Please. If this book were exactly the same, but featured more basic emotions it would be passable. Its plus is that the index is in alphabetical order, with Root words having their page numbers bolded. This book does feature some great root words. Happy, Angry, love, kill. But it is missing many mord that would make it easier to navigate. Why is the first M root word Magniloquent (after Love being the last L word)? Who knows. Maybe a revision is in order. ... show more

    • Not useful for me as a writer
I had high hopes for this thesaurus, but find it pretty much unusable. Imagine, this book doesn't even include the word "beautiful," much less other words authors tend to use repeatedly in their writing and want alternatives to. I found that every time I picked up this book to look up a word, it was not included, so in time I stopped using it altogether. ... show more

    • I Wish I'd Read the Reviews First
Not at all what I want or need. Poorly organized. No instructions on how to use it. Wish I could return it for a refund.

    • Not What I expected
It’s alright but very limited in words. Opt for the original thesaurus instead
