[Zack Hudson]

I had a really miserable time with this book, but I think that's the point.

Worst Experience Of My Life

[Justin Bird]

4.5/5

loved the extensive vocabulary notes and the HUGE workbook accompanying. This was super massive and asserted the issue of ever having problems fully understanding grammar and how it would work.

this is a FANTASTIC beginner's aid at fluency of composition and understanding Classical Latin with extreme ease.

would have been perfect if they offered an intermediate or an almost-intermediate edition to bridge the gap of what you will go on to read in readers and more complex grammar, prose- poetry etc etc.

Fairly good grammar-translation course. How I cut my teeth on Latin grammar.

[Eric]

Thorough, but painfully tedious. I've read some dry grammar books, but this reaches new heights (depths?).
