This review is from: Dr. Math Presents More Geometry: Learning Geometry is Easy! Just Ask Dr. Math (Paperback)

This is an interesting book to read through and gives clears information on the logic of proving or using various theorems. Information is separated into chapters on circles, triangles, quadrilaterals, etc. How much you will enjoy this book is probably dependent on how you want to use it. If you have a specific question you need help answering, it may not be of use to you unless you have time to skim through the appropriate chapter, and then you may or may not be lucky and find it. It is not intended to be a text and doesn't necessarily progress in that structured, complete form. It is a fun,math "read" with nice diagrams and clear explanations.
