Review: Just the right level - Having studied Russian for approximately 6m on and off I was pleasantly surprised I could make my way through the first chapter without the audio (sold separately). The author has pitched this book exactly at the right level. This book is not for a novice and won't teach you Russian, but it will aid in consolidating your russian and make you more comfortable with the language.
Review: Brilliant, educational, and fun to read. - I bought this to help me immerse in the Russian language, to help me learn. It is perfect for beginners, as phrases are understandable to an extent, and if not, there is an easily-accessible list of the meaning of some more difficult words throughout the book.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Extremely useful and fun, *update*
*by J***R on 22 September 2016*

This a very effective way to learn. I have recently finished the book, and have absorbed vocabulary and correct grammatical forms in a natural way. I did not follow the author's advice about not translating unknown words - at first I tried this approach and I was frustrated and stopped reading. I then used my own approach, that works for me. I translated unknown words and worked through the entire text this way. This has been powerful. I am very grateful for this book. There are a few editing errors, but nothing that inhibits the stories or learning process. The stories are not boring and you learn naturally. It is fun! *Update* I ordered the new version as well, when it came out because it said there was a new story in it. There is, but one of the stories that's in the first one is missing, so it's not extra. That annoyed me because id worked hard to learn that particular story. It seems some of the language in the first one is incorrect (and this was pointed out to me when i used these words). The second version of this book is not sentence for sentence the same. In fact the sentences have been changed completely, some entirely left out and some new ones put in. At first. this eally annoyed me. I thought, since i had worked hard learning the first version, i should be able to now read this second version through... but no: it's not the same. However, of course this is a good opportunity to improve! Hopefully, it's error-free. I certainly hope so, i will be very glad. I found this book very, very useful. I learned from it, and it was enjoyable. I was aware of language errors and that did bother me. But i went along and did my best with it. I used it alongside a translation tool because it is quite a hard book for beginners. At the time, though, this was the only book like this for russian i could find. So i really appreciated it. It seems it was a first and others have appeared now. In their 'translations' at the end of the chapters, they provide a sentence in english that is not word for word what the russian sentence says. A lot of books do this and it's not helpful.
