I don't like 马力平 since she is the only author to create that book。However, I like 暨南大学的《汉语》，《中文 because there are a group of people who co author the book.  马力平must make a lot of money from Chinese school. Those books are bad and expensive. 55 for one book. while 暨南大学的《汉语》，《中文are free. you could download.

 I compared both books, if I have a choice, I will not pick 马力平. the lessons are boring. You could download other chinese books from by google it and the exercise books are much better than 马力平's exercise book.  At least not just reading and writing the same word.
