I had to take the TEF exam, and my prof. recommended this book. From the physical point of view, the quality was very good, no problem with the printing, and the pages were not sticked together (the problem that I usually have with the books馃槕). From the content point of view, I found it interesting and mind-provoking. En fait, j鈥檃i utilis茅 les monts pour mon examen de TEF, et maintenant, j鈥檃i un B1 en la section 茅crite馃榿. I recommend it, can help you with your French skills, if that鈥檚 the reason you are looking for a French novel.
