Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Riddled with errors
Review: Like other Schaum's Outlines books, this one contains hundreds of exercises that offer the reader continuous practice. However, in this case it is obvious that the editors failed to check the exercises and answers before publication. I made it to exercise 11 in chapter 1, where I hit the fourth error. In this case the answer key has a declension for a different noun than the one in the main text! As an unreliable answer key is fatal for self-study - particularly in an introductory text - I discarded this book and started reading another. Latin is difficult enough as it is: Slapdash editing is simply unacceptable.
A corrected version of this text might well be worthwhile for Latin students, but I strongly recommend against the purchase of this book until the book details clearly state that it is "corrected" or "revised". Schaum's Outlines ought to recall and destroy their stock immediately and reprint the book with corrections.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Hi Mr Fishbone
Review: We know the author of this title, Alan Fishbone. He is truly a cool guy, and his Latin books are even cooler.

Goooooo LATIN! YEAH!!!!
