    MyPLT Review: This is a comprehensive review book with irregular verbs and all those pesky French pronouns! A solid book, and quite difficult in some areas. The chapters are each on one topic e.g. Imperfect Tense. So this is a review book, rather than an introduction, but this well-designed book truly brings you to the Intermediate level. Well recommended.
