Rating: - Nifty Pocketbook
It really seems like this book could be expanded upon to create a really nice textbook for German students. Some sections are quite hilarious (sex) and some sections inform you not only of the language but parts of the culture and things NOT TO DO.

Some other reviewers have rated this book poorly on the basis that it did not "save them" when they all of sudden needed a certain phrase.

Rating:  - Not helpful
I bought this book figuring that Lonely Planet would have a relatively savvy and useful language phrasebook. However, this is a fairly poor guide to speaking basic German - I took it with me on my first trip to Germany and found this book to be confusingly organized when I wanted to find correct phrases in a hurry. In fact, there were one or two instances where I believe it taught me incorrect contextual usage. Look elsewhere.
