Title: Poorly written more a reference than a text book
Review: This book's English prose is filled with jargon which a beginning student of Greek really does not need--it is also infelicitous and hard to follow. It is not a book of great"clarity" indeed sometimes it is incomprehensible. I have shown it to teachers of English composition who were amused or outraged. It is a book that will discourage the less talented from pursuing Greek unlike Athenaze which takes a slower and more discursive approach. If you have a great talent for morphology this may be your text--for us ordinary folks it is overwhelming and at times so badly written that one feels a need to translate the English rather than the Greek.
