as useful as speak english like an americanReviewed by H. Kim, 2009-01-25
Some idiomatic expressions are repeated. There are two or three typos. One printed expression is not the same as the audio version. I need to make sure most in the book are really found in practice, but the book looks good to me.
An Excellent Language ToolReviewed by Roman Bilchez, 2009-01-08
As an avid student of the English language, I find this book
engaging -- perhaps, too quick of a read; I breezed through it in
no time. If you are a nonnative speaker, concerned with fluency,
bent on fine-tuning your speaking ability, then this could be a
good starting point to begin with. The expressions in context on a
CD are extremly useful. A great tool to practice your listening
comprehention.
Some of the idioms might be hackneyed, but the author walks the
extra mile explaining herself; in fact, you'll find some
interesting details on the origin of a few expressions. The
exersices are a plus: they seem realistic enough to be likable. And
the repetion will reafirm many about the rarely-heard idioms, found
only in certain context. A well-presented book--could have been a
little more encompassing--again, maybe a bit assuming, but one that
won't disapoint you.

Great book for intermediate ESL studentsReviewed by Frank, 2008-08-19
I found that this book is very useful. It did improve my business English a lot. But, I hope there would be more examples in the book for practice.
