    I just adore Mark Forsyth's writing and wit. He's a gem, and he'd be a fab teacher/tutor

    I just ordered this. I did not realize this was published quite so long ago -- not that it is old.

    Yes I have read it as well. I write poetry. I've used some of the rhetorical devices before, knowing that they seemed witty, but I didn't know they had names and that they were in fact so powerful.

    A friend of mine recommended the etymologicon to me and I just bought it and this book a couple of days ago. Even more excited to get my hands on them now!

    Sounds like a really interesting book:) Also great to see some more book reviews because you're so good at describing books and making me want to read them. Lovely video! :)

    Sounds like a book I should get. I'm always looking for books and tips to hone my own writing skills too. Thanks for the recommendation.

    Hi!! I know you might not read this, but I've just recently started watching your videos, and I really, really like them :)
    I spent quite some time finding the perfect book-themed youtube channel to watch all the videos from, and you are by far my favourite!
    I love your hair!!! Ahh.. I want to dye mine like that one day!
    And your taste in books is the best I've come across so far on youtube!! :D :D
    I subscribed and am going to watch all your videos,

    Yay! I saw that you were reading this on Goodreads and I knew a fantastic review was coming, and here it is. :D I also reviewed this book on my channel this week, but I have a long way to go until my reviews become as good as yours. :P It pleases me that you enjoyed it as much as I did, though! :)

    This video seemed extremely scripted and rehearsed. It didn't seem like any of your other reviews and lacked your personality.

    • @littlebookowl
      @littlebookowl  11 років тому

      That's because I actually wrote a script for this one and I don't usually do so, but I had to get all my thoughts and ideas down so I didn't miss anything.

    • @ebrahimsyeds

      Nicolette Marquette Little Book Owl Not sure what you're talking about Nicolette! I didn't even feel it was scripted until you pointed it out. I thought this was a great, well thought out review and not lacking in any personality at all! Well done, Cat! :)

      I didn't notice any scripty-ness, but this is also the first video I've watched on this channel.
