This book is a slick little read - a tad too slick for my tastes. While Benny Lewis' passion comes through, and he gives good resources for different paths to language, this feels more like a money-grab than anything else. Another reviewer pointed out that many of the chapters in this book are covered (for free) on his blog; having done a little research, I can concur with this statement. In fact, many of the resources Mr Lewis shares direct you to visit his website. There are very few study tips worth mentioning - find someone in your target language to practice with, set goals, take exams if you can, and make up silly stories to remember vocab words - and the rest of the book is a passionate manifesto about language learning in general. Having read How to Learn Any Language (the website of which Mr Lewis cites in this book!), I think that if you have problems with Lewis' types of study tips, you'll get more out of HtLAL than FI3M. HtLAL offers several methods to attack the same topic, diverse enough to cover the three ways of learning (audio, visual, kinesthetic). Mr Lewis' passion shines through, however, and has boosted my interest in learning languages. (Working on my fourth!) For that ignition alone, it can be worth the read - but take a tip from the writer and find it on his blog instead.
