This shower curtain is cute and catchy and reasonably good quality; but the fabric is white and thin enough to be a little on the sheer side.
I bought it despite warnings on other websites that it contains mistakes.
It does, in fact, contain errors:
1. A few words are misspelled.
2. A few words' definitions are just wrong.
3. Several words are labeled as the wrong part of speech.
4. Quite a few words' definitions contain grammar errors: missing apostrophes, definitions written as adjectives when the words are really another part of speech, etc.
A commonly suggested solution to this on other sites is to correct the errors with a red Sharpie. I tried that, and unfortunately it doesn't work very well. The Sharpie bleeds terribly on the fabric, so that the words you write aren't all that legible. I'm pretty sure, however, that red fabric paint will do a better job.
Overall, I'm neither dissatisfied nor thrilled with the product. I wouldn't recommend someone seriously studying for the SAT or GRE with it, though, because it has enough errors to cause problems. I teach college English, and after reading over it one time, I'd like to make at least 50 corrections on it.

I got this for our teen who will be taking the SATs soon. He refuses to study with the big book we got him - so I figured if I got this, he wouldn't be able to avoid looking at it!
The font is about 3/4" high and easy to read. If this helps him even get an extra few words right, it will have been worth it.
The bonus is our elementary child LOVES it and is constantly trying to use the new words in a sentence.

We have a 10th grader, an 8th grader and all of their friends hanging around. If it helps them learn a few more words it was worth the 20 bucks!!

A very cool thing
I got this for my son, but then decided to hang it over some closet doors in the hallway so we could benefit more by its usefulness. Read more
