Review: Few Latin grammars are concise enough and readable enough to be read from cover to cover - this one is both and I did read it through almost in one go. Bearing in mind that 'concise' in this context equates with 'elementary,' as a basic grammar this book is excellent and I have no hesitation in recommending it to you.

Review: I've perhaps begrudingly given this book four stars - if you want a modern Latin Grammar reference, it's probably the best one currently in print, and the most comprehensive, going beyond the requirements of GCSE. I do feel it could be more clearly laid out, even just in terms of basic typography and tabulation, though. And I find it quite hard to navigate - it cross-references itself via rather obtuse section numbers when straightforward page numbers would be less confusion. My third grumble is the depth of explanations - these are pretty terse, and on several occasions, rather than actually explain the difference between two similar uses (e.g. reflexive pronouns and emphatic pronouns), it just gives a couple of example sentences and says "compare the two" - that's not an explanation! I guess Cambridge University Press might defend themselves by saying this is just a reference book, not a text book. I can't help feeling there's scope to make it better though.
