Reviews / Votes
The best part of the book is its lively narrative. The students become quite involved with the characters. As carefully graded passages [the story sections] are much more useful than another collection I have used. The practice sections are excellent. * Dr Conrad O'Briain, Trinity College Dublin *More details
