Rating: Summary: Great for the English teacher that has everything. Review: I bought this, not too long ago, for a friend of mine who is a high school English teacher. She raves about how helpful it is to her in class and how much the kids enjoy using it. She has stressed its value so much that I now feel it is a must for my reference library. After all we've all been there, trying to find a rhymne for that odd word. It's like trying to think of a synonym something and there not a thesaurus to be found.
Rating: Summary: The New Comprehensive American Rhyming Dictionary Review: I don't usually write rhymed poetry; however, when I do, this book is invaluable. The slang expressions are especially appreciated. I've bought copies for several of my writer friends and they tell me they don't know how they've ever done without it. Buy it now!
Rating: Summary: Helpful- inventive phrases Review: I use this book often to write poetry. It is helpful that it has many phrases that I would not usually think of on my own.
Rating: Summary: The best I've seen Review: I write lyrics for musical theater and like this dictionary the best. I like it because it includes a lot of slang and idiomatic phrases and cliches. Cliches are good to use because they communicate so smoothly and effectively. But you have to be careful where you use them. For example, you don't want to compliment a woman with a cliche. Usually they're best as the last line.
Rating: Summary: The New Comprehensive American Rhyming Dictionary Review: Outstanding book, both in the usage presented (contemporay as the title suggests) and the presentations of rhyming words by phonetics. Highest recommendations!!!
