Summary: Very Good Grammar Book
Comment: I am currently in a Biblical Hebrew class where we are using this grammer. I have found it to be a very good textbook. It forces you to use the BDB Lexicon, and your Hebrew bible, which are the main reasons to take Biblical Hebrew in the first place. It goes at a good pace, and a good order. The exercises, although tedious, are extremly helpful, and aid to Hebrew knowledge. I have heard of people using other Hebrew grammar books, and they do not understand the language as well as those of us using this book. I highly recommend this book. It would be hard to understand this individually, but it is difficult to learn any language like that.

Summary: A good grammar
Comment: This is an excellent grammar. However, it is not a do it yourself beginner's book. It requires either a good instructor, or enough of a background in Biblical Hebrew to appreciate the complexity of the grammar and the thoroughness of Seow's approach. There are a few typographical errors. Seow also has a tendency to slip important concepts in without any fanfare. But his reinforcement of the material by picking unaltered Biblical texts to demonstrate is excellent. The addition of a volume with exercises is needed. It is a textbook, therefore not a complete grammar. Gesenius is still good to have on the side.

Summary: There is a reason why Seow's grammar is relatively cheap.
Comment: Having used this text in my introductory Classical Hebrew studies I found the order of the lessons to be incredibly illogical, jumping from one verbal stem to another and then back to the first, rather than covering each one individually and thoroughly. Further, the whole book is pedagogically atrocious. Practice exercises in the book recommend translations from the Tanakh that contain a great deal of grammar that has not yet been covered in the book, rather than offering simplified paraphrases. Further, the book offers no practice in translating from English to Hebrew, which is invaluable in learning Classical Hebrew. Instead, I would suggest Thomas Lambdin's grammar which, though a bit more expensive, is worth every penny.
