3.0 out of 5 stars Incomplete, way too short. August 19, 2012

By Sihoko

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

The book promises more than it actually delivers. Though reasonably well, I think it is way too short .... Various words used in examples are not explained. However for the price, it seems about ok.

Many of the definitions are not G rated he tells me. Better for an older teen or older person, not appropriate for under 14 or 15..
