This book is excellent. Words are grouped according to subject and examples are given to illustrate possible differences in their use in a sentence.

Love to read (United States)
I love this book because it is one of the few books that has vocab in the IPA system. So if you've studied phonetics and IPA, you can know how to pronounce any word in French! Your vocabulary and pronunciation will really improve if you study this book.

Miss Kiara JI was hoping for a book with a great deal of vocabulary in a reading-friendly format. This book is really just lists of vocabulary sorted by catergory to be used as a reference guide, rather than a vocab builder. If that's what you want, it provides a good volume of words and phrases.
