It's really helping, however some grammatical details are really hard to memorize and I guess you should just pass them.

If you try to memorize 100% of the each page you read , you will never finish this book.

A very useful book. I like the way it presents Spanish examples and English translations side by side.

I used this book more for a quick summary of the language than as a field manual or a textbook, so for that it worked wonderfully. It is a lot of information at once, though.
