I really like this book because of how many pages there are - jam packed with useful and easy words to remember! It's convenient when writing in the German language and the set up is classic.

The only thing I don't find necessarily helpful is that often the gender is not listed in the definition. There is masculine, feminine, neuter and it never seems to tell you what a word is - which would be extremely helpful give the complexity of German grammar.
