Summary: Truly outstanding
Comment: This book is almost an essential companion to Wheelock's classic grammar. Linguistics is one of my hobbies and so I've read many dozens of grammars on various languages, from Swahili to Lithuanian to Japanese to Ilocano, so I think I know a good grammar book when I see one, and this is one of the best I've seen, especially on the more inflected languages.
Professor Grote is a gifted teacher and writer. His ability to illuminate the more technical aspects of Latin noun declensions and verb conjugations is a joy to read. Although I am primarily a neurobiologist, as I said, one of my hobbies is comparative linguistics and theoretical linguistics, so my background in grammar is pretty strong, and yet I still found this book valuable in helping me with my Latin.
For the average student without such a background who is struggling with the complexities of the grammar, this book is worth its weight in gold, and I can't recommend it highly enough. I only wish there was a comparable book for Greek, which has 8 cases, as compared to Latin's 6 (and the vocative case is rarely used in Latin). In addition to the grammar, his explanations of how the various verb tenses and moods are used semantically are equally good, along with his discussion of the vowel changes and mutations that may seem puzzling at times. And there is the occasional oddity, such as that Latin lacks a true conditional tense, unlike Greek and most other Indo-European languages, and professor Grote explains that, too.
Professor Grote makes even the most difficult grammatical concepts seem, if not easy, then much less difficult and abstruse than they seemed at first blush. Overall, a great book and one of the best ever written in its field.

Summary: Wow...
Comment: Wow... this book is amazing. I had made it through chapter 10 of Wheelock's Latin, with a fair amount of success... but something just didn't click. I purchases the Comprehensive Guide to Wheelock's Latin to aid me, and now have a complete understanding of the subjects covered by Wheelock. Wheelock's Latin is well written, and does a great job teaching Latin... but the Comprehensive Guide acts as a tutor to insure you really know what you think you know. If Wheelock's Latin is your map to learning Latin, The Comprehensive Guide to Wheelock's Latin should be your compass.
