Introduction to the larger set, good teaser:

I like the Pimsleur system. I have used it with Traveler's Spanish, the Spanish I, and this set for French. I prefer the cassettes to the CDs becasue of they are easier back up so as to retrace areas.

Quick, but not enough content:

Don't think that you are getting 8 different lessons. Each subsequent lesson spends about 70%-80% reviewing the previous lesson.

I would save the money and buy the full French 1 Language Program which has 16 CDs (the first 4 are very similar to this one).
