I ordered this book and expected it to take a week to arrive. Instead, I was pleasantly surprised when this book arrived 4 days later! Awesome turn around time!
A pretty good book....

I used this book over the past year in my French class, and it's pretty well done. Each chapter has vocabulary, grammar explanations, culture/French history, and French literature. Much of the literature is famous, like "Les Miserables," and some of it is lesser known, like "The Dernier Classe."However, if you are teaching yourself French, do not use this book! While it does include grammar explanations, they are very superficial, and in more cases than not, you will need a teacher or native speaker to help you understand it.However, this book does have a tendency to repeat some vocabulary over a span of several chapters which helps the words stick with you. Trust me, by the time you finish this book, you'll know how to describe a robbery or burglary in perfect French!On a final note, this book is good because it's very modern. It includes modern "slang" phrases (not old and outdated ones that make you sound stupid). It also uses the euro as currency and has a more fun approach to material than some of the older books do. Overall, it's a pretty good French book.
