Concise but comprehensive - very easy to understand! October 13, 2008
This book condenses a lot of information into a small space, but doesn't scrimp on detail - it covers all the major points of larger grammars such as Wade's huge Russian Grammar tome, but is compact enough to carry round in your pocket.
Each point is very clearly explained with a lot of vocabulary in the examples - very useful for boosting your base vocabulary in Russian as you revise / learn the grammar.
The verbs section is perhaps a little short, and you might want to supplement the book with another dedicated, more detailed verb book like The Big Silver Book of Russian Verbs: 555 Fully Conjugated Verbs (Big Book of Verbs Series), but as far as grammar guides go, you won't miss any of the important points by relying on this handy guide!
"Finest perfume in small bottle" July 9, 2008
A well-written & well-organized book. Provides answers for many question that rise up as you learn the language. The examples are really useful in order to understand plus the pronunciation is marked on the words.
This is a nice book which you can easily carry in your bag; however small it is, it contains so many things that you wonder how they do fit in there.
I would highly recommend it.

Russian grammar can be complicated, but this is an excellent resource for the learner who is struggling to fully get to grips with the sometimes complicated grammar. The guide explains things in a clear way, with simple examples. It doesn't assume too much and is patient. Recommended for anyone serious about learning Russian.

Russian gramar is not exactly what one would call a simple task to master, therefore you're going to need a very accessible book in order to cope with all its intricacies. Granted, this book is relatively small (at least compared with Mr Wade's other publication on Russian grammar) but don't let that put you off. Every significant area of the language is explored to a reasonable depth although obviously there is little room for extensive verb tables given the 250 page limit. I believe, however, that the author's purpose lies in providing the reader with what is essential for them to use and improve their Russian and the book has certainly managed to achieve that. Definitely the best book available for students doing Russian for GCSE or A-Level and a worthwhile purchase for those studying the language at university. I'd advise serious learners to purchase another book on verbs (there are two excellent publications that are available here on Amazon) but still, Oxford Russian Grammar&Verbs is one of, if not THE, most helpful books I have come across.

Great book once you have grasped the basics of the grammar and wish to advance, I would strongly advise against this being your first Russian Book though!
Superb reference book I must say
