The book cannot be called 'revolutionary' but it is, perhaps good because it is reliable and dependable source of knowledge for Spanish I students. The whole book is well thought through every section is presented in the same manner the author does not experiment but rather carefully adhere to academic standards in terms of usage of the book's framework. The material is explained well, not excessively wordy but enough to present a new grammatical topic to students. Text is written in a simple but academic language. The study of university activities, house chores, leisure time activities are universal at all times. The context is universal, and the book will be relevant for a long period of time. There is a significant number of graphs that help to understand the material better than just lengthy and wordy explanations. The content when presented is error-free and totally unbiased. A lot of attention given to commonly used phrases, which is good. The strong side of the book is good explanations (with examples) provided by the author when the new topic is presented. In my opinion it is good but too general could be more specific. The selection of vocabulary is appropriate but could be more rigorous. It does cover all essential areas that we normally require students to learn: University, family, at home, shopping, and leisure.
