Reader Reviews
This review is from: Roget International Thesaurus Index 5E (Roget's International Thesaurus Indexed Edition) (Hardcover)
When I was a freshman in college, my creative writing instructor insisted that we buy this book. Really, it has been the most useful, most-used book in my entire library--even surpassing my OED. As a professional writer, it is invaluable--I CANNOT write without it. I have one for home and work, and wish they made a portable edition to keep in my car. Don't waste your money and time buying a thesaurus in dictionary form. In this edition, the words are grouped categorically by meaning, so you can find all the subtle variations and neighbors of "happy." Every poet and writer should have one of these. This makes a great gift for college students.
