(The suggested entry point for Reading Greek is the Text and Vocabulary book, so that's where my review is.)

This book was not really useful if you only own this one. You would actually need two more books, between which is crossreferred constantly. Well, I did not plan to really learn ancient greek, I'm quite happy with the modern greek I know :D But I'm interested in the history of this awesome language. For this the book did a quite well job. Knowing modern greek I could understand enough things. The stories were really interesting, I enjoyed a lot to read the classic literary efforts of the ancient greeks. The grammar looks so difficult to me, I'm glad I only have to learn modern greek. :P It actually is only a guide for other books, without a glossary, dictionary or such.
