Surprisingly interesting
As a history buff, I thought this book would be mildly interesting. Once I managed to start reading, however, I could not put the book down. It details little known facts about the making of the Oxford English Dictionary, while introducing the reader to the individuals who slaved over this work for over 70 years. It is also quite informative, detailing the work that goes into such a project. If you love history and the English language, it's a great story!
