5.0 out of 5 stars
Well produced and entertaining,
This review is from: Vacaciones al sol [Vacations in the Sun]: Lola Lago, detective (Audible Audio Edition)
I downloaded the audio book. There is an introduction where each character says a little about themselves. The chapters are short, about 1-3 minutes long and there are about 24 chapters. The characters use the Spanish accent (th sound for the letters c and z) and don't slow down. While the vocabulary isn't very hard if students aren't used to speakers from Spain, they will find it difficult. There's the same musical interlude between chapters with some cool piano music. On my player there were only 6 tracks, with multiple chapters. It was annoying that the breaks weren't at chapter endings for the tracks.
If a teacher is thinking about using the audio book here are my warnings/cautions. The characters drink beer. There are a few, very brief, references to "adult" things that detectives investigate, such as someone's wife in a bikini with someone else at Mallorca but nothing in depth. There is also a reference to the bad guys having cocaine. The bad guy does try to drown Lola Lago. Some things common to Spain are refered to but not explained, such as newspaper names and places. You will probably have to pause and explain or preview and tell them the cultural info before the next chapter. The mystery itself is engaging for adults and probably middle school and up.

condensed version,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Vacaciones al sol (Paperback)
The version of Lola Lago that was shipped to me was a condensed version of the story, and it was not even usable for my class. The exercises were also different than in the normal book. It was a complete waste of money.
