Husband appreciated them as a gift Nothing much to say except my husband says "they were fine," and they took a lot of time out of reading the complete book! | ||
Well, it is shorter.... Kids, think of this as an ice cream sundae with only the vanilla film and a speck of fudge on the inside of the sundae glass. It'll be enough for you to report on the significant parts of the sundae in great detail to Mr. English Teacher, but you'll have none of the feeling of having eaten an ice cream sundae, perhaps the finest food on Earth, if not the finest thing. Let's call this a loan. Use old Cliff to get through the test, but promise yourself that you'll at least pull up a chair to the book when you have the chance. | ||

The original is better This volume skims over too much. I didn't like it as much as the original | ||
