A review by darbar
The Word Exchange by Alena Graedon

Did not finish book.

I gave this 25% and the plot had yet to get moving. Also, the authors whole rant was our dependency on digital devices and a "word flu" where people are forgetting normal words, but then the author goes out of her way to use overly complicated and obscure words. I had to use my distionary at least 20 times in that 25% (and I consider myself relatively intelligent with an English degree and over 100 books per year read, usually.), While enduring the mockery of the author for having to use the dictionary. Not for me.
