An excellent reader. Perfect for helping students of Korean through the intermediate stage.

I like the variety of the texts, both in type and content, but there's A LOT of english in this book so it seems to be aimed at high beginner learners more than the advertised mid to high intermediate learners, though that could provide people with a nice confidence boost. As a high intermediate learner, it was too easy for me and I doubt this truly offers a bridge to native content such as novels and newspaper articles.
