+
+Etymology is a fun -- or, at least, interesting -- area: The origin of words.
+
+And yes, that's what this book is about: words and their meanings. Five (or
+six) sections, each with 10 words and their origins. Kinda.
+
+There is one glaring problem with the book: Because etymology is somewhat
+boring ("hey, this word, came from this source, which is based on this word,
+which means this"), the author decided to put some fun in it, which is ok in a
+certain dose, but gets annoying when it is too much. And it *is* too much.
+
+Also, there are some problems with the editing of the book. Wrong punctuation,
+words disconnected from the rest of the phrase... There is even an "there"
+which should be "their".
+
+It is not a bad book per se, it's just the the colorful notes put too much
+color in it and it surely needs a very good revision.
