I would like to thank Dane for sending me this book, it really is amazing!
I suggest all writers get a copy of this, it is available on Amazon with a link at bottom of this review. This needs to be on your desk as there are some terrific words in this book to use in your writing. I spent so much time looking for new words I didn’t get any writing done but it was worth it. If you want your writing to stand out then drop in an unusual word to make it ‘pop’ in the readers mind. There really are so many to choose from, I also like the way Dane has included the pronunciation of all the words, so you get it right when reading your work. This is a brilliant idea and must of taken him years to collect all these together to make the book, I really recommend this with a big ten stars!
