I looked briefly through RTK2 and did find it a little less functional than the first book. I think I'm going to do what you say and learn the reading in context and just use the book as a reference.

I got through the first book in about 2 months, but it was a lot of work. Good luck & stick with it ~ it is worth it ;) Most people on the ReviewingTK site are not big fans of the 2nd book & would not recommend learning the sounds of the kanji with it, but rather picking them up as you learn vocabulary. It's not too difficult; you'll quickly notice a kanji making the same sound in several words. And otherwise, you will spend several more months learning all of the possible sounds for each kanji, only to have to learn which sound is actually used for each vocabulary word anyway! I did still buy the 2nd book as a reference anyway, and the 3rd book is definitely a good buy for those kanji you come across that are not in the 'essentials'. Love RTK!!

It kind of feels like you are learning a secret code. To suddenly be able to look at the Chinese restaurants or shops and suddenly understand one of the characters is really cool.
