My first job was a writer on Cosmopolitan magazine. I was given a desk in the corner with a phone that never rang and a typewriter clogged with cobwebs. From there I wangled my way into the news business, first as a reporter, later as a foreign correspondent, finally as an editor for BBC World Service radio. Along the way, I dabbled in television, lost money as a book seller and spent happy years teaching in the South Pacific. We only have one life – might as well waste it on books.

But then I discovered that each lettered section begins with the reproduction of a letter from the front; a man named Charles, writing to his parents, his brother and his nephew. These were good - they were better than good, they turned a freaking glossary into a narrative, and in addition to learning new words (and meanings for old words), I had to keep flipping so I could find out what happened to Charles next, always sure that I was going to get to 'Z' to find a bad news telegram or something. I didn't.
I knocked off 1/2 a star because, while Charles makes it to 'Z', you never find out what happens to him in the rest of the war. A letter at the very start makes it clear he survived, but with 2 years of the war left, 'Z' leaves the reader with something of a small cliffhanger.
Still, way better than your average glossary for readability!… (más)
