Shadowing - the idea of repeating something vocally as soon as you hear it - doesn't work for everybody. Including me. I prefer to listen very carefully to something short and then repeat it in order to improve pronunciation. For comprehension and general listening ability, I prefer to sit back, listen to the dialogue and analyze the bits I don't understand.
Despite the title, you don't have to shadow with the material in the book. You can use it in any way that works for you. For me, I enjoyed learning all of the conversational phrases.
As a disclaimer, I should point out that although I do not financially benefit from sales of the book, people I know and like do.
