Comment: I bought this on the strength of having used and loved "Mot a Mot", the French version of this series, throughout my studies. However, whereas "Mot a Mot" simply gives independent expressions, "Parola per Parola" seems to mainly reprint chunks of Italian texts, split up into sentences and translated. This means it's hard to pick your way through the chapters, because it's pretty much undigested and lacking structure. Also, the vocabulary is out of context so it's hard to be sure of the register and usage of the expressions. I think an advanced student of Italian would be better off reading an Italian newspaper or magazine instead and scanning it for new and handy expressions.

That said, it's better than a poke in the eye with a burnt stick, especially as it's not easy to find advanced vocabulary books. Like the other books in this series, it's themed around different topics, e.g. business, health, politics...

You should be aware that it's an advanced vocabulary book so it will be no help to beginners and probably not much use to intermediate students.
