Here is what people are saying about the Merriam Webster's Collegiate Thesaurus
 "Doesn't Quite Have the Subtle Flavors of Words" | 2010-02-27 |
| - Reviewed By PutInWords from OH United States |
I like using a thesaurus to find just the right word, so that means having lots of options. The new, revised edition simply fails to live up to expectations. I was told by one of the reps for Merriam-Webster late last year (2009) that the new Collegiate Thesaurus would knock my socks off. It doesn't; my socks are still on as are my shoes.
It's not that bad, however, I do like the usage phrases set up in angle brackets. I think this helps clear up any meaning concerns if one is unsure of meaning. But I do not like having, what amounts to, a definition for each entry. I really ONLY want other single words or phrases related to the "original word"--and lots of them!
Yes, it looks pretty and bright and is easy to find and to use, but it feels more like a word processor thesaurus (that is, limited options) than the one I still pick up every time I write (which has lots of synonyms). The limited amount of related words and dictionary-like entries simply don't cut the mustard (which you won't find if you spill some on the just jacket).
Good, but not good enough for writers that want to get the nuances of their prose precise and just right.
It might be geared for less experienced writers or those not as familiar with English, but I'm not suggesting it's basic, just not comprehensive.

| What can I say? It is a book of words, with words. It has a job to do. It does it well! |

| "My son uses this all the time!" | 2009-08-19 |
| - Reviewed By Agatha Kristy |
| I bough this for my son in High School, and he uses it all the time! He said the other day, that when I gave it to him, he mentally rolled his eyes, but since then he realized how much he uses this book and wanted to thank me! Imagine that, a teenager thanking his Mom for giving him a book.....I was floored! |

| "Great Thesaurus!" | 2009-05-30 |

| I bought this Thesaurus as a companion to the Merriam-Webster English Usage Dictionary and the MW 11th Ed Collegiate Dictionary. Great book! Very useful and comprehensive. |

| "Merriam Websters Collegiate Thesaurus" | 2008-09-07 |
| - Reviewed By M. Keown |
It's much, much better than the paperback Thesaurus's I've
been forced to buy because of availability and price? Plus
the paperback versions had smudged print and some pages were
printed upside down or in another langage? Best buy the original
from Amazon and never go wrong it costs more than a paperback but, worth it in the long run! |
