Ruth: A Guide to Reading Biblical Hebrew
Maintain your Hebrew.
Too often, a former Hebrew student is a lapsed Hebrew student. The paradigms, the syntactical forms, and even the alphabet can be hard to recall. The way to make Hebrew stick, like any language, is to continue to put it to use.
In Ruth: Guide to Reading Biblical Hebrew, Adam J. Howell helps intermediate readers of Hebrew work through the text of Ruth with exegetical and syntactical aids. With Howell as a guide, students will be able to mine the riches of the Hebrew text to appreciate the literary and theological significance of the book of Ruth.

Great for a student who has just finished Hebrew 1 & 2. Very repetitive at points for that reason.
I wish there had been more theological commentary to go with the textual breakdown.
Also, if you follow the accent breakdowns, he sometimes divides things weirdly.

Great grammatical commentary on Ruth
This is a great intermediate commentary on Hebrew grammar and syntax in the Book of Ruth. However, the layout of the Hebrew is not fully adapted for the Kindle version. Still, I highly recommend this book for those who are interested in improving their biblical Hebrew knowledge and skills to read and analyse.
