Informative and entertaining read

This book is a good introduction to linguistics, a topic that could get dull quickly but the author of this book manages to pace the book so it reads quickly and is entertaining. The illustrations on my kindle app were fairly small but once zoomed in they were witty and moved the book along nicely. I recommend this book for those interested in language.

Pretty standard crash course on linguistics, it covers a wide variety of topics and then includes a really good reading list for further information.

I would just like to express my love for the fact that the graphic guides series exists. Not only is this a good introductory text for Linguistics (in a really interesting and accessible, though arguably slightly gimmicky, graphic novel format), it's on Kindle Unlimited. Which is incredible, because academic texts normally cost a small fortune.
