★★★☆☆
Solid intro, limited scope
Good for getting your feet wet with Mandarin. The tone explanations are genuinely helpful. But don't expect to be conversational after this -- it's really just the foundations. You'll need more resources to keep going. Fair for the price though.

Better than my community college class
Paid $400 for a Mandarin class that covered less material than this ebook. The practical dialogues feel real and useful for actual conversations.

Great for absolute beginners
Starts from zero -- no assumptions about prior knowledge. The character learning system with radicals is well thought out. Would like more audio resources though.

Tones finally make sense
The four tones terrified me before this ebook. The mnemonic devices are brilliant. Went from being afraid to speak to actually practicing with native speakers. The pinyin foundation chapters are rock solid.
