Not too bad, interesting things all condensed into one book

[Charlotte · Rating 3 out of 5]

You know, I never thought I would think it fun to go back to GCSE and over the rules of Latin grammar, Picasso, sports and biology, but it was surprisingly a great life and a heck of a lot of knowledge which takes me back three whole years! Who needs moisturiser to keep them youthful when you have such a bizarre brilliant little book?

For all the people afraid to say out loud they forget the difference between a subjective and a proper-noun

I am giving this 4★ because on the whole it is very enlightening. I am withholding the 5th ★ due to some topics of questions in the tests are never mentioned in the lesson the test is about.
