Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I am a retired physician, and have been spending about 2-3 hours a day for the last 9 months on Latin. I am going into chapter 28 (of 40). Love it. 1. I read the chapter in Wheelock. 2 I do all the chapter exercises in the back of the book. The answer key is in the book. 3. I do all the exercises in the chapter itself. The answer key is downloadable to a device (but cannot, I think, be printed) 4. I do all the exercises in the Workbook. key--same as 3. 5. I then read and do all the exercises in the appropriate chapter for Scribblers, Sculptors and Scribes. Somewhere along the way I read the story from 38 Latin Stories. I also started the Lingua Latina Familia Romana about 4 months ago, and am on Chapter 22 (of 35) The way my mind works, I would have been very frustrated to just use that--I want to KNOW things thoroughly. But I find LLPI superb as --raw reading material-- as in, reading it for an hour while walking on the treadmill. I read every chapter multiple times, getting something from them each time. The Companion to Lingua Latina is also useful The subtle difference in grammatical emphasis, to me, is enlightening. I have also benefited from having a Cassell dictionary, and punching searches into Wiktionary--the Wiktionary is great for looking up words in such a highly inflected language. In Wheelock's books, the Inscriptions, Poems (Martial is LOL good), Cicero, Virgil, and the Proverba and Dicta, Sententiae Antiquae, are my "candy"--the pay-off for the grunt work. Originally my goal was to eventually read Caesar's Conquest of Gaul in the original. But all the authors I am being exposed to have broadened my scope of interest--and it feels as though the keys to Western Civilization thought have been handed to me. Yes, like others, my volume is now shredded from use--I am ordering another copy right now. I don't think the kindle edition would work for me. (update, February 2019. I am on chapter 38. Still love it. Started LLPSI Pars II--Roma Aeterna, and, to me, the two work together well. Suggest also getting the companions for that series, and watching the chapter talks on the LLPSI web site. Because of the ornate sentence structure, I actually find the learning curve steeper with that set of books--but, again, that supplements Wheelck.)
