  1. 3/5 Torbjörn A

    Boken börjar på en barnsligt simpel nivå, där saker som "pluralis", "kasus" etc. beskrivs i detalj för någon, som aldrig hört talas om dessa begrepp, för att framåt kapitel 6 eller 7, direkt hoppa till expertnivå och bli orimligt avancerad.

    Detta är ingen bra "lär-dig-självbok"!
