Summary: A fairly good drill book
Comment: As a book for verb drills, this book is alright. It has a nice glossary in the back, and it has complete conjugations of many irregular verbs. It's set up so that it deals with all of the tenses first in their regular forms, and then later there are exercises for irregular verbs, which quiz you on all tenses/moods at once. Personally, I think it would be better for the book to have longer sections about each tense/mood, which deal with irregular and regular verbs at the same time.
In other words, I would rather practice one tense at a time, rather than, as the second section is set up, practice irregular verbs one at a time in all of their different tenses/moods. Most classes (high school or college) are set up so that you deal with one tense at a time (regular and irregular at the same time) as you eventually learn all of the tenses, and unfortunately this book isn't set up that way. That's my personal preference, and, perhaps, once I have learned all of the tenses, this book will be more useful for me.
I would really recommend this book instead, for it presents the verbs by their tense, and it provides lessons about prepositions and useful verb expressions (ex. faire la cuisine, avoir de la chance) as an added bonus.

Summary: Good, but not Great.
Comment: I bought this book because I'm a homeschooler. It is a very good workbook, but I wouldn't recommend it for those who are teaching themselves. It is much better used as a supplement to a formal education.

Summary: drilling the best way to achieve mastery
Comment: As a teacher of French, I drill my students all the time. I have found that the students don't experience being drilled as monotonous, if you drill them at a fast pace. Some of the slower students can't really handle it, but you're fooling yourself if you think they'll ever move past the F side of the bell-curve, so I say drill away with those who can.
The drills in this book are superior practice for all verb tenses. They're organized by verb endings, frequently used irregular verbs and verbs with prefix differentials that could be called regular.
It works. My students kick derriere (except the morons who can't find their own derrieres) thanks to this drill book.

The shortest route to mastering verb conjugations One of the greatest challenges in learning a language is mastering verb conjugations. The books in the unique Language Verb Drill series make it easier than ever for learners to meet that challenge. Drilling, whether it's for learning a musical instrument, a sport, or a language, is an essential part of a sound education because repeated, concentrated practice makes specialized skills become second nature. Unlike most verb books, which tend to concentrate on tables of conjugations, the books in the Language Verb Drills series allow students to focus exclusively on building mastery of verbs without being distracted by other elements of grammar. Combining the features of a workbook and reference manual, they clearly and systematically explain how a verb system works while providing numerous drills for practice. These revised editions of the popular study guides now include a final review section to reinforce the reader's ability to automatically select the correct verb form.
