I needed this book for a college level class and I feel that as textbooks go there are definitely better and clearer ones out there. I felt like I had to struggle to understand a lot of the poetry and the stories. I had to keep a French/English dictionary fairly close by at all times. It could have been the class and the professor (both of which I didn't care much for either) but I really struggled in this French class to make sense of the lessons.

Also, it's a fairly expensive book and you don't get too much out of it. The CD is great to listen along with to help with your speaking, but really it's just reading some of the poems in the book. If you're buying this on your own I'd suggest you keep looking for something that will help you individually. If you, like me, are using it for class buy it used or rent it. This isn't anything that I'm ever going to pick up again and thumb through. In fact, I believe I sold it back to the store.

When the post office sent back the book I purchased from FascinatingDeals, the people at the company were not only very nice to me, but they also sent it to me again at no extra shipping charge! I would highly recommend buying a product from them as their customer service is impeccable and their delivery is speedy. Thanks, FascinatingDeals!

For a french textbook this one leaves much to be desired. Some practice questions and context on the pieces of work found within.
