 Wonderful! We still have a rich language! January 20, 2010
P. R. Thompson (Chatham. Kent)
I had this from my wife as a Christmas present. It has dispelled all the post-holiday blues, banished the icy weather and kept me chuckling ever since. It is a joy to immerse oneself in Fry's exhuberance as he explains the origins of everyday phrases, dissects the metaphors and double meanings. Here is life beyond the txt msge and freedom to speak in whole sentences with those verb things and adjectives nautical, not naughty. Thank you Stephen for the erudition in this edition which was imminent before you were eminent.

I bought this as a Christmas present and as my taste is impeccable is must be 5 star.
Great easy and interesting listening January 2, 2010
M. P. Wallace (Sheffield, U.K.)
As you may expect from Fry and Radio 4 this is a very slick production. The whole thing holds your interest, is full of fascinating details and is exquisitely presented and produced. Obviously, if you don't like Fry or have no interest in Metaphors than this isn't for you. Also it's not an academic approach to the subject, it does draw on a lot of Academia but its very much in a light entertainment style. I just listen to odd bits on the drive to work and am very pleased with it.
Scrumptious stuff. Stephen Fry on good form. December 1, 2009
Jessica Robertson (London)
Perfect if you appreciate Stephen Fry's sense of humour and share his love of the English language. Fascinating and funny. Highly recommended.
 DULL AND RATHER PORTENTOUS October 31, 2009

S Fry simply showing how clever he is! Although undoubtedly well researched and delivered in his usual erudite manner it had neither wit nor warmth and constantly left you wondering what on earth he was talking about. As a purely academic study of the idiosyncrasies of language it is probably very good but as a form of entertainment (which it is billed as) it was far too verbose and portentous for any but the most studious of audience.
