The Mother Tongue: English and How It Got That Way by Bill Bryson

funny informative lighthearted medium-paced

4.0

An interesting if dated look at the English Language. It had me laughing at times and I have highlighted many a fact. I will be fact checking and I have to say some of the language used would not pass the vibe check today.
Overall I would recommend to anyone interested in understanding the history of the English language as long as they are also looking elsewhere for their information. It is a supplement to learning rather than a definitive guide.
