'[An] excellent, discursive new book [by] one of England's greatest living language commentators...Crystal's accessible and lively style belies his academic rigour.' The New Statesman
'[Crystal] is more than just the Dr Johnson of our age, a linguistic expert who never takes a day off from considering language in all its aspects, and even hears sheep bleat in a Welsh accent.' The Sunday Herald
'"By Hook or By Crook" is autobiographical-whimsical-quizzical-oddsandendsical.' Times Higher Education Supplement
'The book reads like a donnish Bill Bryson, a Bryson possessed with a maniacal passion for the Cambridge Encyclopedia of the English Language... This is stream of consciousness linguistics, a pied-piper-led dance down the byways of language...a compelling guide.' Independent
'splendidly discursive...This is a man so in love with words that he will happily hold up fellow motorists, and miss crucial turnings.' Independent on Sunday
