I wanted to enjoy this book, but I just couldn’t get into the writing style. It felt dry at times, and some concepts were not explained well. I expected more engaging content from Trask, considering how important historical linguistics is to the study of language.

Solid Introduction, But Lacks Depth
Trask’s take on historical linguistics is decent, but I found some parts a bit too basic for advanced learners. The organization could be better too. It’s a helpful introduction, but I was hoping for more in-depth analysis in certain chapters.
