Words In Sheep's Clothing

Words In Sheep's Clothing
Mario Pei
Hawthorn Books, 1969

First impression:
A propos the point made in the previous post, this book appears to be its direct opposite and strikes me as a whiny, petty account of a topic that could otherwise have been incredibly interesting (i.e. how language can be used to disguise meaning rather than convey it in certain contexts). After 16 pages I became fed up and so have decided not to engage with it anymore. So there.

Rating: Awful; abandoned
