I wasn't entirely impressed by this book. The point that the author tries to make is that English has become the world's mode of communication. That's a given, but the suggestion is made that what has emerged as the world's English - "Globish" as he calls it - isn't American English, or British English, but something entirely different. Too much history is blown through to suggest where we've gotten to now. This would have been better done as a scholarly work with a lot more examples. A fair primer, but that's all it is.
