At first, it is hard to keep my attention throughout because the book seems boring and has no story to tell. However, the dictionary format of the book allows me to open any page and start reading it without concerning about the previous content. It is really great, especially when travelling by bus or train. Gradually, when I get familiar with the book format and how the content is presented, it keep motivating me to read more. I knew some of these words/terms/concepts by chances after 2 years living in Sweden but never have any chance to look for them clearly. The book is perfect for me to sit down, grasp a piece of Swedish culture, digest it with a very clear explanation.
