Shin Kanzen Master Reading for the Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT) N2

Shin Kanzen Master N2 Reading Comprehension teaches reading skills and strategies before moving into JLPT-format practice. Part 1 covers how to analyse text structure, including comparison, paraphrasing, metaphor, rhetorical questions, and identifying the author's argument. It then teaches specific techniques for answering different question types. Part 2 covers practical texts like advertisements, notices, and information retrieval. Part 3 is full practice problems, and there's a mock test at the end. Answers and detailed explanations are in a separate 39-page booklet.

This is a strong book in the set. It teaches you how to read, how to identify what a question is actually asking, and how to find the answer efficiently. Useful beyond just JLPT preparation.
