This review is from: Treasury of Hungarian Love: Poems, Quotations & Proverbs (Hardcover)

It was pretty good had a lot of nice poems, but Hungarian is a very hard language to translate. I wasn't very happy with how they translated some things, it could have been done better. Over all if you don't know Hungarain this books isn't all that great.
