Customer Reviews

x.o.

Most of the reviews I see here are incredibly bizzare!! People critiquing the book as if it were a serious language dictionary, complaining it's only english to italian etc.! The book is meant to entertain with all kinds of slang terms, most a little dirty or crazy. Very, very entertaining it is!. Check it out - especially if you already know some italian and can read the phrases aloud to your friends with gusto! It's hialrious

This book is hilarious!!!!!!!

This book is sooooo funny even though it's not english-italian. The is books has all of the perverted comments made about ("THINGS"). I'm sure you'll love this book.

I loved it...

Even though it did not have an English to Italian section as one reviewer complained, I still found this book to be very entertaining and informative. It is chock full of useful colloquialisms and it was a nice break from the usual "high school" type Italian one usually learns from instructional language books. I highly recommend this book to anyone who has a love for the language even if you aren't yet fluent in it.
