The general evaluation of the book:A good self-study material for those who have already had a course covering the basics. Or for those who are so-called false starters.However, from book editing viewpoint, the book is a nightmare:1. No active page headings, on the top of each page you have only the title of the book, which makes it a little difficult to locate something specific quickly.2. Headings on a page are mostly inconspicuous, so you need to look carefully where you are inside a lesson.3. Perhaps the book is too grammar centered, which is reflected in putting the grammar into the book twice, once inside the units and once at the back. Probably a shorter and tabular description inside the unit and a reference to the grammar summary at the back could have saved some space for some extra material.All the lessons have the same structure:1. A long conversation with English translation after each turn2. Usage notes to expressions and structures in the conversation3. Culture Notes (in English)4. Grammar and Usage (the book has a thorough grammar curriculum) (a very long section)5. Exercises (surprisingly short compared to the previous section)6. Key to the exercisesWhat can you find at the back of the book?1. an 83-page grammar review2. a 10-page-long guide to letters, e-mails and internet resources3. the rules of the 1998 German Spelling Reform (2 pages)4. a short index (2 pages)What's on the CDs?1. Each conversation of the book (fast, natural speech speed)2.
