• Very Good 13 May, 2007
THIS IS A VERY GOOD BOOK TO LEARN BEGINNING & SOME INTERMEDIATE LATIN FROM. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT.

• Be Prepared 25 June, 2007
This is an advanced Latin text and not for beginners. It moves faster than a college text. If you want to review the Latin that you learned years ago in school, this may be just what you are looking for.
Much material is presented at one time: vocabulary and grammar. You should be prepared to study on your own, as there are no practice exercises to help the student learn each point presented.
There are however, sentences to translate that include new and previous grammar and vocabulary. These sentences are quite unusual, interesting, and difficult, and rewarding when correctly translated. Give yourself a gold star....
The translated sentences are in a special section in the back, along with verb conjugations and a vocabulary list.
Let me be sure to say that I do like this text. I enjoy the challenge! If you like languages, grammar, and puzzles, go for it.

• Serious Grammar 09 February, 2008
A serious study of Latin grammar - not for the casual reader. More for the very well-versed. Not the book we wanted. Includes 5-page index, and 41-page Latin-English dictionary. The print is good, and the book looks reasonably well organized. Title is highly misleading.

• Not For Beginnerrs, No Matter What The Title Says 24 November, 2007
If you're a beginner to Latin, don't know a lick of Latin, then this book is not for you, regardless of what the title says. The author's English grammar isn't very good; and by the time you finish a paragraph you'll wonder what he is talking about, unless you're a linguist. It's an alright book for the first few chapters, but then it just piles on loads of confusing and incomprehensible grammobabble (unless you're a linguist) after about chapter 7.
Some of the answers in the back of the book are wrong, too.
If you're new to Latin, look elsewhere.

• Teach Yourself Latin...provided You Already Know It 20 March, 2008
This book is certainly not for beginners. It's more of a review for someone who already has a firm grasp on conjugation, cases, and so on. If you're an autodidact working your way into Latin, forget this one. My recommendation would be to spend your money instead on something like Lingua Latina (a direct-method reader) and/or Wheelock's.
It's my opinion that this book will serve more to confuse right up front and very likely discourage further study into the language.
