More like 4,5/5

Read this if:
- you want to study/are studying languages, the process of translating a text, or linguistics
- you want to know the basics of the process
- you have some background regarding translations, but you don't know what to do to improve your technique

I'm a bit angry. This book is on a list for people who want to take a translation exam. Everything sounds good until you realize that this exam is for anyone (people who either study translation or just normal people). Don't get me wrong, I think it is good that everyone has a chance to take an exam and become a translator (after all, translation is not a pure theoretical domain or separated from others). The problem is that this book has in some parts linguistic terminology. If you are not a scholar, make sure you read the Appendix and look for some key concepts so that you could understand what the author is saying.

Other than that, I like how this book was separated in parts, chapters, sections and subsections (with a summary and conclusion). It made the reading of it easy to follow. The analogies were good too!

I will refrain from commenting on this until June.
