Title: Good starter course.
Product review: It seems most of the other reviewers here are commenting on the condition their used copy arrived in rather than the quality of the instruction received from the book which is rather more helpful to someone thinking of picking up a copy. I felt that Italian without the Fuss was an enjoyable beginner's level course. The dialogues were fun and while much might be missed one the first pass, after you finish the associated chapter you should really be able to "get" that conversion - even if you don't understand each word. All in all, I would recommend this BUT there are other courses that are better, albeit much more expensive (think: Pimsluer).
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
