Apr 1, 2009	Lorena Vicente	An interesting book for beginners, though it was published more than 10 years ago and some sections may be out of date.	4
Apr 22, 2009	Lucy Leite	I read it last year and I've been working as a translator for over 8 years, but I still found it an interesting way to keep me thinking about my everyday activity. It gave some nice ideas too.	5
