Reviews

[Sue Dounim · Rating 5 out of 5]

I can't think of a better book for me; an adult trying to learn Latin by himself/herself. The author's sense of humor makes the book almost worth reading if you're NOT intending to study Latin. And even if you don't finish it (like I didn't) you gain an understanding for the structure and peculiarities of the language, which might give you an insight into the Ancient Roman mind.
