Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Spiced up my writing
Review: I found this book to be very helpful in spicing up my own creative writing. Filtering my plain old off-the-street curse words with more imaginative examples from this book made my characters more complete and interesting foul mouths. I highly recommend checking this out for inspiration.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Education with a Smile
Review: I work with the educational community and very often with teachers trying to teach English as a Second Language (ESL). And, while laughter may very well be the best medicine, it also can help the learning process. This book takes an effective and humorous swipe at helping ESL kids learn the meaning of the "real life" words they hear on the playground or in the street. The magic of the book is that it deals with the relatively touchy subject of "dirty" language with a sense of humor that diffuses the edginess of the subject matter. While I hope kids don't use the book as a "what to say" manual, it certainly could work wonders in helping to lessen the sense of isolation ESL kids may feel when surrounded by their English speaking classmates and friends.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great Book but something is missing for ESL
Review: This is a great book but it needs the complement of an audio program, this of course for the ESL. I know the old edition had one. Can someone tell where to get it? Because it is not sold buy the publishers.
