The grammarians are identical redheaded twins who share an obsession with words. They speak a secret "twin" language as toddlers, and become enthralled with a weighty dictionary brought home by their father. As adults, they grow apart, split by differing views on prescriptivism, formality, and the changing nature of the written and spoken word.

I thoroughly enjoyed this story of wordplay, family relationships, and growth. I'm going to pass it on to a friend who may also enjoy it.

My friend returned it without reading it (too long for him) so I'll look for another good home.

I'm putting this into the Bookish Bookbox, a large box of books about books (and libraries, authors, etc.)

The Bookish book box is getting ready to travel again, which means that I have to journal all the ones that came back last year and determine if some have gone too many rounds and need to be pulled. This book made the cut and will go out in the new round.

This book is now in the Bookish Book Box and is off on a tour of the US, hopefully to find a new home along the way.

Any future reader or recipient of this book is encouraged to leave a journal entry here on the BookCrossing site to let prior readers know the fate of the book. You can make an anonymous entry without joining the BookCrossing movement, but if you are interested in joining, it is a free and spam-free community where your contact information is not shared with others. Best of all, members receive private messages via e-mail from books like this one when those books are journaled, allowing for long-term relationships between books and readers.

Reserving from the bookish book box. Thank you!!!

This is quite enjoyable, but still looking for that 'umph' factor in the writing.
