Summary: Great help for all the students!
Review: As a student of the French language and literature, I can only say that this book helped me a lot. Perhaps it's the easiest way to learn in the same time many new words, and to find out what are the differences between the meanings of the words which mean almost the same thing. I come from the country were we can only find it at the University, and it is still very expensive for an ordinary student. Anyway I am using it any time I can get a chance. In my opinion every student who is studying French language should have it. Congratulations to the authors!

Summary: Extraordinary Resource
Review: Le Petit Robert's most helpful factor is its extensive use of example sentences in which the word being defined is used, allowing those with a weak sense of its meaning and nuance to know its proper use(s). I use it in conjunction with bilingual French/English dictionaries, partly to check whether that's how the French would really say something, and partly to refer to the example uses mentioned previously. That way I have two takes on a word: the corresponding English word, and the different meanings the word conveys in French. A truly invaluable resource for anyone wanting a trustworthy reference for the French language.
