Summary: A worthy addition to a hilarious series!
Review: As a devoted reader of Richard Lederer's previous "Anguished English" books, I was anxious to see if this book measured up to the previous titles. I was thrilled to find that it did that and more! There is no doubt that "The Bride of Anguished English" is a fantastic book that will keep me laughing for hours on end. Most all of the material is new, but it pays homage to classic English errors in a small "Hall of Fame" section at the end of each chapter. If you enjoy studying and/or laughing at the misuse of English, this is a book for you.

Summary: Not QUITE as funny as its predecessors.
Review: Still, this book is a marvellously funny romp through a collection of snippets of tortured English. Delightful for those capable of seeing the humor in a sign that reads: No
DOGS
EATING
BICYCLES My only objection to this book was that I've seen too many of these entries before; between those that are in the chapter-ending "hall of fame" sections, that have appeared in previous books by this author, and those that I have seen in other similar books (Jay Leno's "Headlines" books, for instance) there were just too many that were too familiar to be entirely bizarre. Still, there was plenty of new material, and it was ALL funny, even the recycled parts.
