I really enjoyed this book. It was like a nostalgia tour of my six years studying Latin in middle and high school, and made me regret anew that I did not continue my studies in college. The vocab and grammar expositions, while at times getting a little too into the weeds, were interspersed with enough anecdotes and personal reflections to keep the narrative moving. It is brave of Ann Patty to have written so frankly about her life experiences. Now I want to go audit some Latin classes!
