A Practical Review of German Grammar (3rd Edition)

Rating:
Summary: I prefer the Second Edition
Review: Although this is a decent intermediate German Grammar book, and in fact one of the best currently available, the penultimate edition was vastly superior, in my opinion. There were more and better exercises, and I felt that the coverage of every point was really thorough--to the point of being German. This version seems by contrast a bit dilute. Nonetheless, I am sure that the lighter weight of this edition will be appreciated by those who have too much stuff to schlepp around in their backpacks.

Summary: EXCELLENT
Review: I was a total biginner of German, who didn't even know what 'Guten Tag' meant. But I learned German grammer by myself with this book literally in two months, and after a year of German self-teaching, I got an internship offer in Germany (of course conducted in German). Now I have no problem conversing with German people. I strongly recommend this book.

Summary: Decent-but not well organized
Review: Like the German language, this grammar book is very unorganized. Maybe this is an artistic attempt to capture the essence of the German language, but it is quite unhelpful for reference. Don't expect much vocab either; and that which is included is either obvious or not useful...
