5.0 out of 5 stars lean, smart, sort of fun, and it's grammar!, March 30, 2008
By 
This review is from: Practice Makes Perfect: Complete French Grammar (Practice Makes Perfect Series) (Paperback)
If you're studying French grammar, it's usually because you have to ( student) or you enjoy French and want to improve your writing. I find this book exceptional because it provides the basics but won't bore the advanced student or teacher. This is a clear, concise, guide to basic grammar without the excessive prattle that fills pages and inflates the price of textbooks while boring students to distraction.
It had been years since I studied French. When I picked up this smartly organized volume, I not only quickly began to recall what I thought I'd forgotten, but I also learned new concepts for thinking about grammar. Painless and highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars Helpful grammar review, February 23, 2008
By 
This review is from: Practice Makes Perfect: Complete French Grammar (Practice Makes Perfect Series) (Paperback)
I found this book well-organized and easy to proceed through. I have a lot of experience with French (studied in high school and college), but needed a review, so for me it was perfect. I really can't say how it would be for someone just starting out; I think most folks would want to be able to hear the words. But there are some great websites for that, so perhaps in conjunction with the web, this would be a good starter French grammar book.
