Yes! I am greatly enjoying it. It has the advantage of being very accesible
for most (English reading) fans, as it is almost entirely in DIvI' Hol. There
are a lot of cute jokes in phrases, like the ancient yIvoq 'ach yI'ol (trust, but
verify). I only wish it had 1) a pronounciation guide (NOTHING in it about
how to pronounce tlhIngan Hol) and 2) some minor grammatical intro, and a
vocabulary. But those are minor quibbles....
It could make a nice companion to an Intro to tlhIngan Hol class...
