CUSTOMER REVIEWS:

Customer Rating:
Summary: More a vocabulary test
Comment: This little book is not a bad way to practice some vocabulary, but as crossword puzzle it is marginal. Yes, the words are laid out on the page in crossword style, but most words have only one or two letters that overlap with another word, so if you don't know the right word immediately you don't get much in the way of clues.

Customer Rating:
Summary: Good for vocabulary
Comment: I am really enjoying this little book of Italian crossword puzzles. I like the way it's arranged in order of English/Italian puzzles, then Italian/English, and finally straight Italian. It's great for learning new vocabulary grouped by topic.


Customer Rating:
Summary: All the fun of an exercise book--and not much more
Comment: As noted, the cover is misleading. Each puzzle is about 80% black space. The relatively few words in each puzzle intersect in one or two letters, so that the crossed words provide little help in finding an answer.

Customer Rating:
Summary: Great way to learn vocabulary
Comment: As a crosswords addict, I found this book to be an invaluable way to learn new Italian vocabulary. I did one of these crosswords every morning. There's something like thirty puzzles, so it's great way to give your Italian a boost in a month. Also, the puzzles are sorted from easiest to hardest and they have different types such as Italian clue, English answer; English clue, Italian answer; and completely in Italian.

Customer Rating:
Summary: Fun way to learn
Comment: In learning a language, sometimes you just want to step away from the lesson books and the tapes and do something a little different. Why not crossword puzzles?
I agree with the other reviewer who felt that the puzzles in this book were a little too organized into "themes". It would have been more challenging to have constructed them like ordinary puzzles. In fact, it would have been even better if a variety of word puzzles were included. However, the book is useful for learning vocabulary and the puzzles are small enough that they can be completed fairly quickly.
Not perfect, but a helpful tool.
