Title: Fluffy
Product review: I am a high school Lating student who until recently had problems getting it together. I picked up the complete idiot's guide, hoping it would improve my understanding of this amazingly comples language.To put it mildly, it didn't. This guide is extremely fluffy, filled with useless facts about Roman civilization that do nothing for actual comprehension. For anyone looking to REALLY learn Latin by themselves this may be a good starting point. But if you are a student of the language for over like three months, DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY.The fact is, you are better off with the newest edition of Wheelocks. Latin is a language that requires hard work to learn, there are no short cuts. This guide only exemplifies that point.[I gave it 2 stars because if you are JUST starting Latin this book puts everything in extremely simple English, which helps.]
