Reviews

[Kiri · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was a very fun read. It is clearly a dramatically simplified version of Don Quixote, but it was still engaging enough to keep my attention and an interesting challenge to read. Each chapter is 2-4 pages, quite digestible, and each one is accompanied by a small glossary. The glossary didn't always define the terms you would expect (the harder ones), and it contained some English typos, so I supplemented it with another Spanish dictionary. The reading comprehension questions are minimal, but they do give you something to practice with. It's also a useful way to practice pronunciation - read aloud!
