This review is from: Saxon Algebra II (Hardcover)

When I first got this book, I had a very open mind. I was not expecting it to be the perfect curriculum of course, but I didn't have any pre-judgmental thoughts towards it. At first it was relatively easy, but then it begins to get crazy. The explanations and examples can be as short as 2 pages, with little commentary. You are then expected to understand the process and retain it, being quizzed on previous chapters with no extra review, or even a slight note on the previous chapters. The problems in this book are good, but how are you supposed to work the problems with little or no teaching beforehand. The wording and examples in this book are especially horrible. My father, who is a math major, spent hours trying to understand some of the examples and problems they have in this book without success. Bottom line, THIS IS NOT A GOOD BOOK. The only way to really understand this book is to have an amazing teacher that is willing to go deep into the problems, and who has an alternative way of teaching the curriculum.
