This is a fun little book, an interesting way to test your vocabulary when you are bored with flashcards. If you enjoy crosswords and know some latin, this is the book for you! I found that the problems did not make the best use of latin, though, and I did not like the author's use of anagrams- it was sometimes difficult to tell when they were being used. Overall, I had fun with it, and I think it helped my vocabulary; it was certainly a nice change of pace from the usual bookwork. Still, I would recommend it only if you love crosswords.

I was slightly disappointed by this book. I like to do regular crossword puzzles, and I love Latin! This book--in spite of the title--isn't really a crossword book, but rather a word puzzle book. It also plays with the Latin, using anagrams and little word twists. I think it would be a lot of fun for someone who just loves all different kinds of accrostics and other word puzzles, and also knows a little Latin. If the Latin is your thing, this isn't the book for you.

I hate crosswords as a rule, but this brilliantly entertaining book made my weekend. If you're a geek and your Latin's reasonably good, buy this book today.

If you're just starting at Latin, however, I recommend 'Easy Latin Crossword Puzzles' instead. Of course, if you're not a geek, or if you don't have any Latin, this book is not for you.

A funny way to learn latin. Latin is a language as all the others. Why we must learn it as a dead language ?

that would be a little difficult since I never got the book. Still waiting. I'm about to cancel payment and file a complaint.
