Review: I started reading this several years ago and just got bogged down. I finally decided to take a running go at it and actually finish it. As an English language teacher and overall English geek, I find word origins fascinating. The author certainly does an amazing job developing connections throughout the English language doing so in pithy and humorous chapters. However, I would say that the book should be considered more as entertainment than education (though there were certainly several things that I learned along the way).

My only negative comment is that the author's "circular stroll" can get a reader turned around very easily. The reason I could not finish it the first time I attempted reading it was that I simply could not keep up with the author's logic. This is something that really has to be read in a fairly brief amount of time. It is not something that I would say can easily be put down and then picked up some time later. Overall, I enjoyed the book and think that most other word nerds would as well.

Title: Etymology can be fun

Review: More fun than a barrel of monkeys ---to use an old cliche. Forsyth starts turn up for books (you'll never guess where it came from), and ends with turn up for books,and there's a connection with all the words in between. Who could believe that etymology could be so much fun. Found myself giggling like a school -boy many times during my reading (I would have said school -girl, but someone would have screamed sexist) . It's a hard book to put down. The one problem is that now when I'm reading, and see a word from the book not used from it's etymologically beginnings, I have to stop and think about it

Review: I'll be buying his other works and a latin dictionary now. This is fantastically fun, and almost like you are sitting with the author as he connects the dots and gives you backstories. Its hard to put down, and could easily be devoured in one afternoon.

Title: Deliciously Brilliant

Review: This books moves page after page. It never stops telling you something you might not have known before, in both an enlightening and enticing way. Maybe it's a lot of trivial information that I never needed to know, but whatever, this book is a great escape and it's educational at the same time. The book is all about words and how words are connected. So in one word I consider this book: brilliant. Diamonds are brilliant, just like in the brilliant cut commonly used today. See, now I'm doing it! So addictive! Thank Mark for blogging and then getting inspired to turn your thoughts into a book we all enjoy reading.

Review: What a fun book! I am an etymology geek and love learning the stories behind words. I like the format of the book - this leisurely stroll from one word to the next. It is great to pick and put down without feeling guilty about not finishing right away. A definite buy for those word geeks out there!

Title: A Hilarious Read
Date: Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2014
Review: Ever since I took a classical studies course at my high school, I've been interested in the classics and language. Mark Forsyth's 'circular stroll' is a howling good time. I was laughing so hard, my room mates were concerned for my health. Honestly, I expected a scholarly description of certain ambiguous words. This is such a magnificent edition of hilarity. Do read.
