a monster of a dog

Hello! I am conducting a research in English linguistics, which concerns with a certain type of N of N phrases like ‘a giant of a man’, ‘a love of a child’, ‘a monster of a dog’, etc. I collected a considerable amount of data with the examples of use of such types of phrases from the fiction books, but I would like to have a native speakers’ response (which is quite hard to do in this part of Russia I’m living in). What I need is just a small form of 10 sentences with the gaps that has to be filled (it is available). If there are any English native speakers ready to help, please fill in this form and send it back to me to Email Removed">Email Removed. I will be extremely thankful to everyone.
