This book is very easy to read and very thorough. each concept is explained very simply and concise. if there is any confusion on when to use a specific grammatical forms, this book will clarify. it has everything you need to know about portuguese grammer, even the stuff that nobody ever uses. my girlfriend, who is Brazilian, uses this book to check up on certain things from time to time. Like i said, this book is for all levels of learning. although, i would imagine that some high level purists would prefer a grammar book written in Portuguese to really immerse yourself. but, the grammar is all here in this book for all levels.
the book is written in english for first language english speakers. if you dont speak english very well then some of the concepts might not make sense. only grammar included, not much vocab. you will learn a lot from the examples but to really learn portugues you'd probably need another tool to help you with vocabulary. not quite sure what those tools are, but one thing i heard of is to put post-it notes on things around the house with the portuguese word. not too bad... rossetta stone may be good for you. everybody learns differently, you need to find a method that works for you.

The Essential Grammar Series: All The Grammar REALLY Needed For Foreign Language Speech & Comprehension
Dover Publications Essential Grammar series covers the most important points of grammar in the clearest possible way, concentrating on the expressions that you would be most likely to use, language in everyday life and contemporary situations, without devoting space to the intricacies of literary, archaic, and poetic forms that you are not likely to need. All the major aspects of grammar are presented in logical, developmental order: vocabulary, vocabulary building, word order, turning negative sentences into positive and vice versa, forming questions, nouns, articles, prepositions, adjectives, adverbs, verbs, verbal idioms, and whatever else is necessary to a knowledge of a given language. The series is not a simplified grammar, not an abridged grammar, but a selected grammar for adult use, with emphasis upon explanation rather than rote memory, and with inclusion of much phrase material for examples. It can be used as a supplement to a course, as an introduction, or as a refresher for those who have already studied a particular language.
Essential Grammar is available in 11 languages:
- Portuguese (ISBN: 0486216500), Spanish (0486207803), French (0486204197), Italian (048620779X)
- Dutch (0486246752), Swedish (0486269531), Russian (048627375X), German (0486204227)
- Japanese (0486210278), English (0486216497), Modern Greek (0486251330)
