Safire bonanza
Pleased with buy as I have always loved Safire's witty comments on style, grammar and language. Most certainly five stars.

Interesting stuff for a column, not so much for a book.
As a retired English professor, I always liked his columns, but when you get them all in a book, with all the nitpicking responses that people sent him,, it's a bit much.

Very help and interesting book from the master of the language
This is a very interesting book,It will arm you with better grammars, particularly for a person from overseas and has a taste for history or anecdotes. I found the phrases and words help clarify common confusions. They are explained in the context of history, kind of fun and relaxing. I remember Katie Couric once mentioned: I mentally cross off a person when I hear the wrong pronoun...So it worth invest a little on proper language.

Safire rules
William Safire at his best. Only he could approach language with so much panache. Great read for anyone who appreciates the intricacies of the language

Great read
This is a terrific book by a terrific thinker and writer. It's full of obscure word history that never fails to interest. And the dictionary organization makes it pretty easy to find passages that you might be interested in using for reference at a later date.
