'... this book is an unquestionable success; it will be as useful to students meeting Leucippe and Clitophon for the first time as it will be to specialists, who will learn much here (however familiar they are with the novel).' Jean-Philippe Guez, Bryn Mawr Classical Review
'The commentary is presented as an excellent and exhaustive reading guide and, together with the introduction, it is essential for anyone who wants to access a deep and personal analysis of this novel.' Roser Homar, Exemplaria Classica (translated from Spanish)
