Book Reviews of Carpe Diem: Put a Little Latin in Your Life
Book Review: Fun, but still lacking
Summary: 3 Stars
Although this little tome is fun to read and take a bit of the boredom out of learning the language, it is still just a primer, and is, at times, still boring. However, by biggest gripe about the book is that it doesn't have a pronunciation guide. So, for someone like me who speaks both English and Spanish, it's very confusing and frustrating to try and say these things out loud.
Summary of Carpe Diem: Put a Little Latin in Your Life
In this lighthearted guided tour of Latin, journalist and former Latin tutor Harry Mount breathes life back into the greatest language of all, drawing on everything from a Monty Python grammar lesson to Angelina Jolie's tattoos.General Books
