Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars 

As a child, I played this game with my sister, and we knew who wrote what later when we were in school! I use the card game with my high schoolers, and they have a fun day when we play.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not as good as the original, March 20, 2009

By	Carla Cruzan (Minneapolis) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:3.0 out of 5 stars 

I bought this for classroom use, so would prefer it not have any use other than for playing "Authors." Also, the original card game had larger type and pictures of the authors, because it did not have the numeric and card suits also printed on the cards. Larger text and pictures was more educational. With these cards, I must watch that the cards are being used for the purpose for which I purchased them--to learn the names of key authors and their major works.
