Review (in 1996):

Aha! Oho! (Well, they're a start.) This is, quite simply, a gigantic list of phrases that read the same forward as backwards, listed in length order from "Kayak" to a 543-word variation on the well-known "A man, a plan, a canal - Panama" palindrome.

Author Brian Hall has added some contemporary examples - like "Age, irony, Noriega" and "Lisa Bonet ate no basil" - to punch up the well-worn classics like "Madam in Eden, I'm Adam".

There's also a few bonuses, like palindromes in languages other than English, and "acoustic palindromes" (phrases that sound like themselves, if you were to record them and play them backgrounds). This is a treat for fanatics, an amusing diversion for the rest of us.

But then again, "We panic in a pew".

As reviewed in the 1996 "World Wide Web Top 1000" - a review of the Top 5% of all Web Sites in 1996.
