Any criticisms? Just one: This is one of those books that might have been improved had it been shorter. It's packed with nearly 2,000 quotations, so perhaps it's to be expected that not all are gems. S o m  judicious pruning would have resulted in a briefer but sharper collection. Still, the author can justifiably boast that it's the m s t  comprehensive and definitive volume on its subject. Of course, you need not read the book cover to cover. It lends itself perfectly to browsing, especially when a chapter such as the one on "sex, love and romance" catches your eye. Both informative and entertaining, Neverisms is a great gift for someone you know, or a treat for yourself. You'll also find it a useful resource when you need an appropriate quotation for a writing assignment or presentation.
