Review: You Are Not Human: How Words Kill

You Are Not Human: How Words Kill by Simon Lancaster
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A slightly generous 4 maybe but its an entertaining read. Like almost everyone I'd taken the use of metaphor for granted in several aspects of daily life. Felt the book could have been a little more focused and it wanders into repetition a few times.

It would also have been interesting for Lancaster to have been a little more questioning of himself as a speechwriter. He seems very critical of everyone else and their reckless use of metaphor, but essentially never considers his own use during his career.
