5.0 out of 5 stars Great for students or classrooms
For an intermediate student of spanish, Breves cuentos is a magnificant tool for building an understanding of hispanic literature and vocabulary. Great insight to the lives of the authors and their literary styles.

1.0 out of 5 stars Absurd
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.

1.0 out of 5 stars Absurd, October 31, 2001
This review is from: Breves cuentos hispanos (3rd Edition) (Paperback)
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.

1.0 out of 5 stars 27 1/3 cents per page., July 18, 2005
This review is from: Breves cuentos hispanos (3rd Edition) (Paperback)
The stories are mediocre at best, there is no answer key for the grammar exercises and the price is astronomical. The paperback book weighs in at 150 pages and is priced at $41.00! Absolutely ridiculous.
