It's ok...
This is an ok book. It is very small, and does contain quite a few idioms. However, a few Italian friends of mine said they would never say some of the idioms that are contained within the book. They say that some sound very odd. Plus, whenever I've needed to look up an idiom I've read in a newspaper or somewhere else, it is rarely present in this book. On the whole, it wouldn't be harmful to have it on your bookshelf, but don't rely on it...

a great book
I spent two years in Italy and friends tell me I understand the language very well. However this book is useful for beginners and advanced students (also for italians learning english) I still find myself dipping into it regulary and it's pocket-sized.

A great book - indispensible for learning the idioms you need to really get on with italian.

Excellent
Absolutly amazing, when reading Italian articles I came accross phrases which made no sense to me at all (Idioms/slag) and this book EASILY solved this problem, buy it. Great stuff.
