The biggest issue is there is no organizations and is nothing more than a list words, and some of the words doesn't even go with the body part.Here is small sample of a chapter,Lets say you wanted help with describing skin.Chapter 31SkinAdjectives in Alphabetical OrderA-Facne-prone; acne-scarred; adolescent; adolescent-type, adverse (what does this word have to do with describing skin?); African; aged; ageing/ aging; albino; allergic; almondy (I'm assuming the author meant almond); already-raw; amazing; amber; anemic; ash-colored; ash-gray; ash-white; ashen; ashy; Asian; auburn; average;This was just a list of A's and it goes right into the B's. As a writer do you have the time to comb through a list of alphabetical words? It doesn't get better, lets go right into the next part of chapter with...Verbs and Phrasal Verbs in Alphabetical OrderA-Oabraded; absorbed; ached; acquired; added; adhered; adjusted; adorned; adorned with; affected; affected by; afforded; allowed; amazed; appeared; applied to; astonished (yes this is a verb, its meaning... to fill with sudden and overpowering surprise or wonder. How does a skin become overpower with surprise!) ; attached; avoided (Here's another one! How does the skin stay away from something. The character, yes, but remember this is a book on how to describe body parts);And the list moves right onto the next letter in line, again who has time for search through a heap of words, but wait there is more,Noun Phrasesabrasion of the skin; amount of skin; appearance of the skin; area of skin; aspect of the skin; bag of skin;Once again it continues on with the next the letter. The noun phrases are for the word SKIN, not how to describe the actual skin. I don't know about you, but when I struggle with describing a part of the body, I'm not just looking for an adjective, verb or a noun phrase that use the word of the body part!!! I'm looking base on show not tell. This book could have been organized by shape, size, touch, smell, hear, taste, color, emotions, actions, possibly movements for each body part.This is a great idea, and I believe a much needed tool for the writing community but this author missed the vision completely. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Don't bore your readers by using the same words over and over....... *by D***T on Reviewed in the United States πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ on January 4, 2017* As with any thesaurus, it only works to help stimulate the writers mind.The book is loaded with many single and multiple word descriptions,but the writer must still put the words together in an interesting manner in order to be able to tell their story.What is a thesaurus but a list of words, and is it that not writers use.......Words......Different Words.Because, if readers get tired of seeing the same words over and over in your story, they will stop readingand put your book down, or worse you get bad reviews.Which as a writer means, you lose. No only one reader, but possibly future ones.Expanding your vocabulary can only help you as a word-smith.The Body Thesaurus is a very useful tool to have, if you study anduse it.I do both.You never want someone to say that your writing is lazy. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An excellent writer's tool *by S***N on Reviewed in the United States πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ on June 15, 2020* Ms. Evans has listed all body parts alphabetically, and for each part, she's broken it down to adjectives, verbs and phrasal verbs, and noun phrases. Lots of choices...and I love words. This book is a treasure, and I use it often. It is an excellent writer's tool. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/103890693-the-body-thesaurus-a-fiction-writers-sourcebook-of-words-phrases](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/103890693-the-body-thesaurus-a-fiction-writers-sourcebook-of-words-phrases) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-08-10*
