As the mother of a 3 year old son, I found the book to offer great insights for his current age - allowing him to choose what is showcased on the refrigerator, having him "read the pictures" and encouraging him to be happy that he "reads like a 3 year old", as well as providing games and projects for us to work on as he progresses. I found it to be very helpful, easy to read, and broken down into small tasks/projects that are very easy to follow.

This year, I'm about to take the Sequential Math Course I Regents. These books (it includes 2, Barron's Regents Exams and Answers: Sequential Math Course I AND Let's Review: Sequential Mathematics Course I) have boosted my confidence and given me a great way for me to know EXACTLY what I can expect on the Math I Regents. I especially love the Let's Review book. It gives mini review lessons that explain everything, even if you've never done these operations before. At the end of each little lesson are some questions. One problem with these is that the only answers in the book are the ones to odd numbered questions. At the end, there are three Regents exams with all the answers, but these answers aren't explained. You'd have to go back into the book and redo a lesson. You may now be thinking: "Ok, so why would I want a book that doesn't explain the answers to the real Regents?" This is why they also include Regents Exams and Answers. In this book, they have 12 Regents, but don't think now you have a total of 15, they overlap. Anyway, this book gives you the Regents, then gives you the basic answer (Ex. 2) then will go more in-depth if you need it (how to obtain 2). If you still don't think you understand the questions, there are brush up questions that have the answers and explanations to the same type of question. In this book, there are charts for every Regent as to how many of a certain type of question there are so you can anticipate which topics you should be studying more than others. It also informs you of which questions you missed are which type of questions. (Ex. #4 deals with Square Root; Operations Solving Radicals). In the beginning, there are also helpful tips on taking the Regents. These books are very easy to follow. You won't be disappointed, believe me. It's given me total confidence, if nothing else. Can't recommend enough, A+++++++++++!

It is very easy to understand when compared to the original text on Romeo & Juliet. Great to use for studying for exams and help with essays. What else can i say it's fantastic!

This is a great book, where you can find marvelous Tintin illustrations, and informations about Scotland. If you are a Tintin fan (and like Scotland) you must have it!

Jan Franklin will always remember 1967, it was the year her mother died and left her and her brother Kevin to be brought up by their strict minister father in the small Maine coastal town of Stark Harbor. When Jan gets pregnant, her father is so ashamed that he sends her off to a home for unmarried mothers and doesn't tell anyone where she has gone or why.

Her younger brother thinks she has run away, Tom Croft, the father of her baby doesn't know why she left, he knows nothing of their baby. He punches Jan's father when Bill Franklin won't tell him where Jan is and has a choice of either going to reform school or joining the army. He joins the army. Jan thinks he heard that she was pregnant and has deserted her, so she refuses to return to Stark Harbor and instead lives with her aunt and finishes school there.

Seduced by one of the teachers, she gets pregnant again, but he marries her. Her happiness is short lived, her new husband loses his job for sleeping with a student and he blames Jan for his lot in life, taking everything out on her with his fists.

Years later, Jan, Tom and Kevin return to Stark Harbor and discover some of the secrets that had been harbored there for so may years, secrets that will ultimately end in betrayal and murder...

This a well written novel of small town life, not everything is as calm as it appears on the surface. The characters are well drawn. Some of the issues in the book such as suicide, incest and homosexuality are explored graphically, which may be a bit close to the bone for some, but I think Ms. Barron has done an admirable job at dealing with them. Nothing is hidden under the carpet here with her writing, and I do personally think that the book wouldn't have been as strong without those scenes.

A highly enjoyable read.

I really liked your book. This book helped me with everyday homework as well as class test. I am taking the regents math exam in june of this year,and hopefully,I will score very high in the regents exam.

Thios is an excellent play and the cliff notes are very helpful to understand the book. Everyone should read this book. I recomend this if you have trouble understanding the language

A stirring murder mystery of love and betrayal, wrot with sword fights and bouts of melancholy. Here, our hero (Hamlet) entices us with his painful story of his fight for truth, with a wade through his murky mind. Poetic in places, Hamlet is one of Mr. Shakspeare's finest works.

The main strength of James K. Lowers' Cliffs Notes for Shakespeare's "King Lear" are the commentaries on the play's specific scenes. If you pick up this little yellow volume with the black stripes looking for essays on specific characters or themes you are going to be very disappointed. All of that is present, but it is scattered throughout Lowers' analysis of the play. The first sections of this volume cover Shakespeare's sources for "King Lear" and some of the critical appraisals of the play throughout history. Following a list of the characters and a synopsis of the play, Lowers launches into his Synopsis/Commentary section, which is probably the longest I have come across in these volumes. More than most Cliffs Notes, Lowers makes good use of the play's text, providing ample quotations (with citations), which is absolutely crucial when dealing with Shakespeare: you need to make use of his actual language when you are writing about any of his plays. Clearly the intent here is to be of use to those who have read the play, rather than those looking for a short cut. As always, it is to be hoped that your copy of Shakespeare is adequately annotated for explaining the meanings of all those words he is making up as he goes along. The best way of using this volume is to read the commentary after you have read each scene of the play. If you do that I think it is the best way of using these notes to help you understanding Shakespeare's play.

In a world locked behind Verona walls, the story of Romeo and Juliet questions the very meaning of love and the importance of it.. It puts forward the notion that a life without love is not worth living, and explains the decisions, the conflicts and tragedy that illustrate the journey in between. Trapped within an ongoing feud that denies the love that Romeo and Juliet posses, it is a struggle in itself to defy their parent's authority, which to some may seem adolescent, but in actual fact is quite honourable. It describes a tragedy so moving, so gripping. It lets us feel the emotionally charged characters, their beliefs, loyalties and values, in such a way that grips our very souls to feel such pity for the end result of their cursed love. They loved only for some hour's time, but sacrificed a lifetime's worth
