Not bad for a quick crash course
As an introduction to the language it isn’t bad but don’t expect it to go into details of the grammar - for that you will need to go elsewhere. I bought this book in my first year of learning, went through a few chapters before moving on but I have recently come back to it after 3 years of learning and breezed through it for fun. I can say that it’s still a useful book and the dialogs are good for listening practice even if the speech is a bit stilted and unnatural but I believe they do this for clarity and to be slow enough for the beginner. I did spot some spelling mistakes which will only confuse beginner learners...
