Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I purchased this book with the hopes of improving the dialog of contemporary characters in my writing. Unfortunately, most of the slang words included in this book is not very 'modern' and seem to come from the 20's-60's and earlier. This would be fine if you are writing a story about gangsters, gun molls or flower children.
Unfortunately, I really don't see my characters using words like 'far-out,' 'drongo,' or 'face-fungus.'
Overall, a disappointing purchase. Perhaps useful if you are writing historic fiction.
