This review is from: Basic English Review: English the Easy Way (Paperback)

Sorry authors but this book sucks...excuse the grammar. I really couldn't understand what the other reviewer meant by "answers", but now I do. There is no answer key. I looked everywhere for it. The only way you can get one is from the publisher and if you aren't a teacher, forget about it. If this is the case then why isn't it somewhere in bold so you don't waste $40 and precious time. The lady I spoke with at Thomson-SouthWestern said that they do it this way because they don't want school kids to get the answer key. She never could give me a reason why they offer this book to the mass public. Anyway, the book is well written but if you are not a teacher and need it for reviewing basic English don't waste you dough (money). Now I see why the 2nd reviewer gave such a good review...She/He's a TEACHER! DUH! *Happy Hunting*

I'm using this book to teach an English grammar class, and it has been very helpful. It's easy to follow and logically laid out. I've found it better than a few other English grammar books I've seen. There are plenty of exercises.

I purchased the basic english book to review my writing style before beginning a foreign language. Because I was able to work in advance of the course start it made comprehension much easier once class began. The book was extremely helpful. I successfully completed the course and have enrolled in the first of two foreign languages. I highly recommend this book.
