Ratings and reviews

I would love to read this book, but I don't know how to speak Latin. That's why I give you a 3 star, really sad, because I never saw this book in anywhere, I wish you can make one that's English and not flat, and please make it, I ignore most normalbye bye thank you

I don't know how to read Spanish and it was confusing. I am a level w in reading and it still doesn't make sense😥! I would have liked it if I could read Spanish🙈😨😴so good night peeps

It was great. I don't understand why people are giving this bad ratings soley because they do not speak Latin. It was obviously not meant for you to read because it says "Latin Edition". Makes sure to read the title of the book before buying because you're wasting your time if you don't speak Latin.
