Если у кого-то есть возможность достать pdf, был бы очень благодарен. Книжка интересная.

paveltashkinov, have you read the book?
I'm just about 20-30 pages into it, and most of the points the author is making seem legit. However, my vocabulary isn't that big to avoid cliches altogether (I'll be struggling to find non-hackneyed alternatives) - rather, I'll be using the book to learn an extra hundred or so of idioms and collocations. :) Those with ratings 1-3 don't seem to be particularly overused. The other ones, marked 4 and 5, can still be used as well, provided you pay attention to the context and the exact meaning you want to get across.
Thanks for mentioning the book here.

Eager Beaver,
Yes, and I found a couple of related books. I'd rather look upon them as a good source of idioms and forget the cliché-part for the time being.

Mind sharing the names? :) I think I could benefit from books of this kind as well.
