Great mix of stories containing a good mix of difference grammar structures, vocabulary and difficulty levels. Each story gets progressively longer and more difficult as you progress through the book.

There are grammar and vocabulary explanations for each story after the full story, which could have been made better by having those after each section, but it only takes a few seconds to flip to the explanations if you need them.

There is audio for each story read out slowly by a native Japanese speaker which allows you to listen while reading. These are on the cd provided with it and also Able to be downloaded from their website for free.

This is one of those books you may need to read each story more than once for to internalize the grammar from or just study the grammar from the explanations after the story.

Would recommend this for anyone trying to make the jump from graded readers to native material as it will give you a step up on the ladder.
