Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wonderful Travel-Sized Dictionary
Review: I lead trips to the Amazon and this is the best dictionary I've found. It is lightweight, can be carried around in a pocket and has had every word I've needed to look for. I now have two and may give one as a gift to my Brazilian boat crew. Highly recommended!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Outstanding
Review: I'm a freelance Portuguese-to-English translator and consider myself quite proficient in Brazilian Portuguese. On that basis, I can only offer praise for this dictionary. It's wonderfully comprehensive, as good as dictionaries that are physically much bulkier. It's delightful to find, in a work this size, words such as "chafurdar" (to wallow in the mud). I used this dictionary on a recent trip while reading Bernardo Carvalho's 1998 novel "Teatro" and found that it had a definition for every obscure word I didn't know. Highly recommended.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good for quick reference
Review: This is a nice pocket dictionary of Brazilian Portuguese. I'm not studying seriously the language, and when reading or writing texts I some times need a quick help for some questions. This dictionary is good for such task.

(I'm not giving five stars because I haven't compared it with any other.)
