Very useful.

This book makes you a little more used to seeing German idioms in everyday conversation. It also makes you feel more relevant in the German Culture, because many of the idioms are common and used frequently. Super cool! -Dr. Kenneth
At the very least, sehr interessant!

This is not exactly the most useful German reference book in existence, but for the German speaking linguistician, this is a good find. I am a German major and I have engaged in taking Linguistics, and I must say that this book is a delight to read. The comparison and contrasting of idioms between English and German is attention grabbing, especially when you know that phrases like, "Like father, like son" and "der Apfel faellt nicht weit von dem Baum" have like idiomatic meanings, but they aren't similar at all literally. I'd recommend it for the 3rd year German high school student on up. It's interesting and you just might learn something.
