Summary: Caveat emptor? Hardly
Comment: Having learnt Latin at school for two years and then dropped it I decided that I would like to go back and re-learn it.
This series of books are great for this. They take you through each bit of grammar and style with clear written examples and give you lots of practise in the exersizes provided. This is in addition to the prose that is fundamental to every chapter.
The book is divided into 20 chapters, each with a slightly different theme. The chapters involve a set of characters that recur throughout the series. Each one has a different adventure happen to one character or another and you are required to translate them. This was quite helpful to me as instead of the text being just something random it was quite good to follow the adventures of the different Romans.
Because of these different stories you are introduced to different aspects and locations in the Roman world. To accompany this there is usually an explaination of different lifestyles with lots of colour photos. This helps to bring the book 'to life', as it were; rather than just relying on text.
The book also contains a dictionary at the back, containing all the words that are used in the book. Along with this there is a section covering all the grammar introduced as the book progresses.
Overall I would recommend this book for anyone who wants to learn Latin. It is a great follow-up to the first book and takes things at a nice steady pace.

Summary: Improved Unit 2 of the CLC Latin
Comment: This is a great improvement on the former Units 2A and 2B. The longer stories have been shortened (e.g. Ludi Funebres, Stage 15), boring ones removed (e.g. mercator Arabs, stage 17), fewer vocabulary words in the Checklists; but most of all is the massive improvement in the paralinguistic material. The Roman Britain stages, previously turgid in content and uninspiring in pictures, has been dramatically improved. In the same way, the Alexandria stages have powerful colour photos and information on the latest underwater discoveries in the harbour of Alexandria, and some excellent maps. All in all, a first class revamping of the original units.
