## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A small book filled with word snacks
*by R***N on January 26, 2022*

I met Lost in Translation in my dentist's waiting room. This isn't a "read it front to back" book. It's a collection of words, in many languages, that make it easy to say, "yeah, wish I could use that word, because it's just how I feel sometimes." It offers snacks of words, a word here, a word there. For example, just now I just opened the book to a random page. There's "Goya". "Goya is the realm of make-believe, of amazing stories that make you forget what you're doing, and where you are - stories that give you wings and send you soaring across mountain ranges that you never knew existed, or voyaging across oceans even though you don't know how to sail. URDU/noun"Not a word you might use in everyday conversation unless you speak Urdu (in Pakistan and parts of India), but a nice little word snack.The artwork and overall presentation is well done, with watercolor illustrations.When my dentist closed his practice, it was time to buy this book. And I did.(Excerpt used without the author's permission)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you love words, this beautifully illustrated book will be a delight
*by S***N on September 28, 2024*

Take a Fika and enjoy the Gezellig. This little (8 inch x 9 inch) hard back coffee table book is a delightful little gem. Beautifully illustrated and intriguingly informative, learn scores of words from several languages that have not exact English equivalent. A must-have for any bibliophile.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I learned some interesting new words, not in my dictionary
*by D***N on May 14, 2025*

a fun book about words that exist in some languages, not in others. It tells us a little about our culture and that of other places around the globe
