I did really enjoy the subject matter of this book, but the writing was too dry, it felt like I was reading Wikipedia. If you are interested in the subject I still recommend [b:The Mother Tongue: English and How It Got That Way|29|The Mother Tongue English and How It Got That Way|Bill Bryson|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1156042888s/29.jpg|2170063] and maybe [b:The Professor and the Madman: A Tale of Murder, Insanity, and the Making of the Oxford English Dictionary|25019|The Professor and the Madman A Tale of Murder, Insanity, and the Making of the Oxford English Dictionary|Simon Winchester|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1167571834s/25019.jpg|1628566]
