By far the most interesting dictionary I have ever read. No, really! The feeling of power you get when you've finally learned how to look up characters is incredible. Think about it. They can't be in alphabetical order, right? Just flipping through the dictionary, looking at random entries, drives home how different Japanese culture is from Western. You're constantly discovering words that you hadn't even suspected might be useful." - Goodreads, By far the most interesting dictionary I have ever read. No, really!
