Summary: Good basic review of grammar and syntax
Comment: I started French in preschool, took French classes from junior high through college, and have continued to read French periodicals, but haven't had an opportunity to review my grammatical skills since leaving school. I think that this book provides a good "all-rounder" review of the basics, and I can fall back upon my Grevisse (Le Bon Usage) for the more esoteric stuff. Merci bien!

Summary: French Review and Practice
Comment: Used for reviewing before a college course after not taking French for a year. Very helpful and complete. Definately would recommend.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great Refresher for Pre-Study-Abroad
Comment: NOTE: This book is called "The Ultimate French REVIEW" for a reason. It is NOT for beginners, but for those polishing their "rusty" points. It also helped clear up some of the foggy points I still had from previous traditional classes.
That said - I bought this book in preparation for my study abroad experience in Tours, France. I spent the summer before my trip doing a few pages a day of reading and exercises from this book (it's huge), and as a result not only did I place in a higher level than anyone expected on my standardized test, but in addition I used it to help to some of my English-speaking classmates. I agree that some of the exercises are repetitive, but that's really the only way to master verb conjugation.
I think that this book truly improved this student's writing ability in French. As I continue to write (and learn) in French, I still use it as a handy reference guide when I'm unsure of which tense to use.
Customer Rating:
Summary: ideal for intermediate student
Comment: This book is ideal for the intermediate, college student of French, or the advanced high school student. For more novice learners, I recommended getting drilled as the best learning method. Initially, students fear it as monotonous, but if the instructor paces the drilling correcctly, as well as frequently changing directions and injecting new things to be drilled, then that really isn't much of a problem. My students generally leave the class, not bored, but totally pumped. Warning: it is an intensive work method for the teacher. Drilling drains the teacher. The good news is that , once past the novice level, drilling should be done less frequently.
Customer Rating: 
Summary: Good prep for a test
Comment: I bought this to study for a proficiency exam that I have to take 6 years after my last french class. So far it is proving to be a helpful resource in jogging the memory and teaching me new words and grammar quickly. I recommend as a great supplement or study tool.

A good grasp of grammar enables the foreign-language learner to build skill and confidence in communication. Here's the "ultimate," painless way for intermediate and advanced learners to brush up on the rules. Each grammatical concept is explained and then illustrated with lively sentence examples; extensive exercises offer practice at applying this knowledge in everyday conversation. Also included are "culture notes," authentic documents, vocabulary boxes, and verb charts, as well as a full answer key and index.
