This is a good exercise book for students, yet it is lacking in explanations. It overwhelms the students with examples of how to utilize the grammar in a sentence, but it does not give them any lesson instruction. Units are setup in a way that requires students to figure out the grammatical rules based on the sample sentences provided. Therefore, this book is useful for classroom settings where students can be taught the missing information, however it might be too difficult for self-study.
