5Read Everyday  Mar 08, 2007
As a new immigrant, I use this book to improve my English by reading a metaphor each day.

5Five star English for both foreign-born and Americans   Feb 26, 2007
Finally a knowledgeable author has written a book that enables Americans born here and abroad to really understand English as we really speak and write it. In addition to adults benefiting from using this book, every high school and college student,ought to have a copy of this easy to read and understand book within reach.

5WOW!! Creative and fun learning experience!  May 22, 2006
An incredible learning experience. A book designed for everyone of all ages.

I've heard metaphors used daily and use them myself, however I never stopped to think where these sayings came from. This book tells you everything you need to know about all metaphors. From usage, history, meaning, you get everything you need on making sure you're never out of the loop when someone says a metaphor you never heard of.

so many metaphors are covered in this book, in fact more than I knew ever existed! Dr. Lee captures the essence of every metaphor in a creative illustrated cartoon that helps you associate the metaphor w/ the meaning behind it.

I cannot recommend this book enough to everyone! Especially your kids!
