Summary: Absurd
Review: I ordered this book as a means of sharpening flagging Spanish language skills. I sent it back immediately, it was that bad. First of all the book is tiny (which is an insult considering the price); secondly the biographies of the authors (written in English) are longer than many of the stories themselves, which isn't saying much. Thirdly, though there are a variety of pre and post reading grammatical exercises there is NO ANSWER KEY, which renders all of the exercises meaningless.
