Copacetic
Rating  (1)
Date: 2010-03-11
0 out of 10 customers found this reveiw helpful
I was so prepared to like this book, but as I flipped through it preparing to read it, I saw the word "copacetic" and now I want to return this book. There are not many words in the English language I despise more than that one, it is used in the workplace by people who have never read a book and use language inappropriately, so I do not know what it is doing in this one. Disappointed.

Fun for Word Lovers
Rating  (5)
Date: 2009-09-06
3 out of 3 customers found this reveiw helpful
Smart Words is fun for those who want to expand their vocabularies and for those who just like reading about interesting words. Mim Harrison organizes her book into chapters, each focused on an idiosyncratic theme--words related to geography, words with interesting etymologies, one-syllable words, etc. The author provides a phonetic pronunciation, her own charming definition and an entertaining sentence for each word. Although the book is too conversational to take the place of an official dictionary, it can be very helpful for students of the English language, who will be happy to read it straight through from cover to cover.

A Wonderful Student Reference

As an English teacher, I found "Smart Words" a great book. I think this book would be a wonderful asset for students in high school and freshman college English classes. What a perfect reference tool to improve writing skills as well as vocabulary. The fact that the word meaning includes clever contextual sentences is fabulous. Truly a must for English students.

Words I didn't know, meanings I can understand

What a blast. This should be a page-a-day calendar. I read it twice right off, and now I just pick a word and find an excuse to use it throughout the day. I can't wait to go hiking so I can point out the scree, drive by a herd of kine, and become a harridan for people to go out and buy "Smart Words" so they can be part of Mim's cadre.
