 Great for any student. March 5, 2007
This book is wonderful. With how complicated the Japanese language is, this book has made it a bit easier dealing with all the particles and how they are used.
I am in first level Japanese and I love this book. I even bring it with me to class for reference and it has helped me greatly.
Very Good Reference August 17, 2006

The only flaw that I could find from this book was that it had no excersices for one to practice but overall the book was great. Good explanation and contrast between particle function and usage.
Great learning book March 11, 2005

This is a very good book for beginners, but you still have to sit down and practice the basics with it... it's very good.
 Not a bad book, but way too simplistic January 8, 2005

I bought this title because I thought it would give me in-depth information about those pesky few particles I still have questions about, but it turns out to be a simple, straightforward description of only the common particles and their common usage, with no in-depth explaination at all. I wanted to know in a very explicit manner the differences between wa/ga, -tara/-reba, dake/nomi, etc, but it only glosses over them. If you've studied Japanese for more than a couple years, don't bother at all with this book. I guess I'll give this copy to a friend just beginning Japanese or something.
 All About Particles: A Handbook of Japanese Function Words September 25, 2004

This book is a very good reference for the Intermediate student. The example sentences and kanji are too advanced for a beginner and the romaji is an insult to advanced students.
It helps a great deal if you sit down and read the entire book once, and then put it up on your shelf and only look in it when you encounter a new particle. While it claims to be a handbook, it is more of a dictionary, but nevertheless it is good if you need a quick reminder.
I recommend buying this book along with Basic Japanese Sentence Patterns by Naoko Chino for maximum effect. The book does no attempt in teaching anything about the example sentences, only the particles.
