This review is from: Oxford Bookworms Library: Taxi of Terror: Starter: 250-Word Vocabulary (Paperback)

Taxi of terror by Phillip Burrows and Mark Foster, is by the Oxford collection books to help students to learn, English his category is thrillers and Adventure, and its ISBN is 978-0-19-42.3418-4.
The book is very interesting because the it tells a story that is commom here in my country Brazil, but that does not happen only here in Brazil. The fact of assauting a taxi that is new to me and that makes the book more interesting.
Mark Foster and Phillip Burrows have been working together as engravers and illustrators since 1991, they are very nearly twins, Mark and Phill have worked together an several Bookworms titles, including Starman an Scape.

This review is from: The Ransom of Red Chief (Paperback)

I wish this had been unavailable when I ordered it. This book is a "comic book" type edition. The illustrations are dark and creepy, almost like the cheap old-timey comics from the 40's. I am sooo mad at myself for not noticing what type this is. Don't waste your time on this mess.
