Some additional comments - By: drewt@michthom.demon.co.uk, 23 Jun 2001 
Having now translated much of the book, I can offer some additional comments on the book. Book 2 does pump the pace up a bit, but some chapters are somewhat harder than others & some are somewhat less interesting than others (the Cornelians spend half of the book at the inn!).
This book does introduce some grammar that is quite a bit harder, but it's not too difficult. I'd only actuallly give this book 3 1/2 stars; it's a perfectly pleasant follow on & is strangely addictive, but it just doesn't _feel_ right. :-|
This book moves on from easy latin to actual Latin - By: , 21 Jun 2001 IN the first three Ecce Romani books the emphasis was on learning the vocabulary, grammar & customs through latin written for that purpose. IN ecce romani book four it still has the same emphasis but Roman writers are used. THis is very interesting for you as a reader. The layout & grammar notes are very good also.
A good book, but get a good teacher and book 1 too - By: drewt@michthom.demon.co.uk, 21 Jun 2001 This book is as equallly helpful & interesting as the first book in the fascinating Ecce Romani series. It introduces even more vocabulary & grammar to the Latin reader, & still has stories about the Cornelii family. Admittedly, there aren't as many & they aren't as interesting, but the book's still OK. You still need Ecce Romani book 1, since book 2 just picks up where it left off. I can't wait 'til I get book 3 now :-)
superb - By: , 05 May 2001 
This is a superb book for anyone begining laitn. It has a wide vocabulary & is a pleasere to read.
A useful reference and teacher for the basics of Latin - By: , 11 Apr 2001 I found this to be a very useful book for the first year I was learning Latin. It covers the basics of Latin with a reasonable amount of detail. I would recommend getting a good Latin teacher to go with the book, since it doesn't cover everything. But it's good if you just want to see what the language is like.
