I am one of those traditional learner/teacher who needs a lot of repetitive practice of the same exercice. It both reasures the student and reinforces the knowledge. This book is excatly what I love: a lot of exercices, it has the answers so that the student can check at home, and very well explained grammar points (in English). A plus: it's pretty cheap, for all that it offers. It's the one book I recommend to my students, whether they are college students (the book is supposed to prepare you for your next quiz, midterm or final) or just learning for pleasure as the majority of you. (If you are buying the book, be aware of one typo, page 46, very last verb: revenir --> revenue. That is the only drawback I could find)
