Edgy, educational, amusing, and thoroughly enjoyable. I would even venture to say it's a must read for all college freshman. An essential book for a complete "educational" experience.

Wow, this book is interesting, full of the unexpected and a great read! For the mature audience, this book is a good conversation piece and anything but dull!! Enjoy!

I've been very entertained by reading about each word, the other synonyms for said word, and what the individual essayists have to say about each word. A lot of fun.

I'll confess to blushing more than once while reading this engaging encyclopedia of all the things my mother didn't want me to know - and no doubt many she doesn't know herself. I surely learned a few new terms here! The sexy was the least surprising, though. These short pieces by an amazing gathering of writers are alternately funny, sweet, and enlightening - and often even poetic! But definitely sexy, too!
