Most useful thesaurus ever! [Posted on 2007-03-30]
As a professional editor and non-traditional college student (English major), I frequently need a thesaurus to select the most precise terms for a wide variety of applications. This particular thesaurus is excellent. It is broad in scope and the Concept Index is a fantastic tool that I have used again and again. I had a previous edition and ordered the third as soon as I saw that it was out. (My husband is also a writer and we had been stealing it from each other. Now we each have one and I'm ordering another for my desk at work.) Keep in mind that a thesaurus is best used to find words that you already know. Don't use it to sound fancy - if you aren't sure of the exact definition of a word, look it up in a good dictionary or use another word. One more caveat: the font size in the mass market edition is extremely small. Happy Hunting!

This Thesaurus Works [Posted on 2007-05-12]
I had been using a thesaurus from another company that was so frustrating that I searched for one that actually gave me the althernative words I needed. I found Roget's 21st Century and couldn't be happier with its many options and descriptions. After ordering my copy, I found another Roget's thesaurus that I had lost years ago, and although it was older, it was still better than the other company's (Webster). I believe Roget's is the most helpful thesaurus for writers and am pleased for the opportunity to say so.

Great Reference Book!!!!!! [Posted on 2007-07-03]
This book has been a great help to me while writing my college papers. The synonyms are very accurate and the thesaurus has a wide range of words I never even thought would be in here. You will love this book, if you are looking for a simple, clear cut view of a specific word, or the root of a word, and the synonyms and antonyms of that word. I love this book. It is my only thesaurus reference book I have in my personal library.

Roget's 21st Century Thesaurus - paperback [Posted on 2007-09-13]
My criticism is only related to the very small type used in the paperback version-I can't read it at all without a magnifying glass. I also have the hardback version of this thesaurus and it is wonderful-I would give it 5 stars. Wanted another thesaurus for another location but the paperback is useless to me because ot the tiny print.

Excellent decision [Posted on 2008-08-16]
I purchased this for college. I use it on every paper that I write. It's extremely easy to navigate. The concept index was a little confusing at first but once I figured it out it became an invaluable tool. It helps when I can't quite think of the word I want to use. Anyway I highly recommend it to all college students. More so than the rogets college thesuarus because this one seems to be a little more thorough, giving more for each word.
