All in all, this monograph constitutes a major contribution to the study of irony that brings together conflicting views through the design of an integrative analytically productive account. I strongly recommend this book to scholars across disciplines in the literary and linguistic fields that are interested in the study of irony, specially those willing to broaden their perspective on the topic and enrich their understanding of this fascinating figure of speech.

Within the thoroughly theorized field of irony, Lozano-Palacio and Ruiz de Mendoza's book still manages to contribute novel ideas, or at least encourage the rethinking of well-established notions. All in all, the monograph's greatest strength lies in its ability to inspire new thought on irony as a unified phenomenon with several manifestations.
