"Steven Pinker never fails to shock-and-awe me, but I didn't find this book as enjoyable as his Stuff of Thought. The rating of this book would be off-the-chart if I judged it by Pinker's knowledge of the subject matter, but as a book for a lay reader - it could try your patience. The main subject of the book is the English irregular verbs. Yes, irregular verbs. Pinker uses irregular verbs as an example to build a theory of language and mind in general. I could never have guessed that those pesky irregular verbs could have such fascinating histories and justifications behind them. After a while the discussion gets too detailed and technical and I found it hard to see how those details could explain Pinker's broader theory of language. Quite an interesting book just for its explanation of irregular verbs, even if you don't care about linguistic theories."
