it was ok

I mean, I read it? As mentioned by some other reviewers, I didn't appreciate it's lack of depth. Also mentioned by other reviewers, it was a breezy read, which I appreciated when I couldn't make it through a chapter. I was hoping for more of a historical and sociological look at the languages and less linguistic analysis (I know, it's about languages, and I totally own that a linguist doesn't have to write a book to cater to my interest on sociologically analyzing stuff). It was clear that the authoress a passionate, language loving goofball, but I just wanted him to stay on topic with a language, sometimes going too far off topic for my taste. All that said, there was a lot to think about in the book and a lot of takeaways for armchair language loving travelers, and I'm glad I kept with it to the end.
