In A Word

The Essential Reference Tool For Finding The Perfect Word

by Mark Broatch

If you’re reaching for superlatives but can only come up with, ‘Yeah, the match/meal/musical was great’ … If you’re recommending a book on your blog or in the college mag and all you can offer is, ‘The plot is fantastic’ … If you like hanging out at movie previews and want to bluff your way into the it-crowd … you need 'In A Word'.

'In A Word' is a multi-tool for anyone who uses language, from students to bloggers, critics and speech writers. Journalist Mark Broatch has combed thousands of reviews and blog sites to round up a neatly ordered kaleidoscope of synonyms, antonyms, connected terms and useful alternatives to the tired clichés that most of us reach for.

'In A Word' is not a purebred thesaurus – we already have Roget for that. And while Roget is structured merely by alphabet, 'In A Word' is structured by theme, so a quick skim through the table of contents will lead you to your goal, whether it’s golf terminology, movies with famous car chases, seminal novels of the 1950s, and more. It also includes a chapter on ForeignᾠTerms in English.

Whatever your needs, In A Word will help you communicate more precisely, impressively and expressively.
