Summary: The perfect guide
Comment: This book is brilliantly thought out and executed. It makes learning Old English wonderful challenging fun. By far the best book of it's kind available.
Rating: 2
Summary: Confusing and Vague
Comment: Well...MOST of the information is there but you have to hunt to find it as it it very poorly organized. They use some vary strange comparisons to illustrate pronunciation, so if you can't speak German of French you'll just have to guess. Many of the passages are worded so strangely that they need to be reread 3 or 4 times.
Rating: 5
Summary: A master piece, however, not as layman friendly as could be
Comment: This is a damn good book. Not as egghead as most books about Old Saxon, however, you still need to know English on a college level. Most books on Old English are written for people with English majors and minors in French, German, and Latin.
This book is better than most, but it is no Old English For Dummies. It is one of the better books though.
Buy it! Wyatt Kaldenberg
