Reading and All That Jazz,
By Ngoc Ha "SGN" (Oregon USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Reading and All That Jazz (Paperback)
The delivery is acceptable, I received it within 10 days after ordering. However, the book misses lots of pages that the buyer should mention it for me to consider if I want to buy with that price or not. If I had time to order another one that I could receive before my class started, I would have sent it back.
By the way, this is very good book for improving reading skills. The information is updated, and there are variety of readings that make reading class is more exciting. There are also many exercises to practice. I like this book.

The teacher told us to buy This Book... Reading and all that jazz. Every body from the class got it at the school store for $ 70 dollars... I did not want to spend all that money soo I started looking around, and I found it here in Amazon and some other web site almost at the same price. When I made the order they told me that the book would take 5 -9 business day but it came in 2 days... WoW Soooo I actually saved money getting it from Amazon. I really had to get the book...
