Good for study!
English translation needs some work, but I enjoyed the story despite my little knowledge in español. ¡Gracias! Will definitely reread without the translation next time for further practice.

Midline
The structure made it easy to follow along despite the second language, but this was such a weird, weak story.

That took a dark turn
Three chapters in, I was going to ask the author permission to adapt this story for my middle school students learning German. THEN IT GOT REALLY GRUESOME! Too graphic for my kids, but I loved it. (One quibble: the English needs to be proofread again. Typos, dears, typos.)

Que bien!
¡ Me gusta el libro. El único problem era pocos typos. Me gustaría comprar otro libros de el autor. La historia era muy bien y loco!

Great way to practice Spanish
The story was engaging and much better than simply learning single words or phrases out of context. Can't wait to read the next one!

Easy to read, but short and not a grwat story
If you have any Spanish background, this book will be too easy. It's very short. And the subject matter was not appealing to me.

Fast, easy read
This was a fast, easy read and was helpful to review vocabulary. I would have preferred use of a wider variety of verb tenses.

Good level for someone in between beginner and intermediate.
Good level for someone in between beginner and intermediate. It is a good way to practice. Reading aloud is helpful.

Not too bad. I got to practice reading some Spanish. I just wish the book was a little longer.

Buen libro para aprender
Buen libro para aprendiendo. Español e inglés juntos en cada página. Te recomiendo si sólo estás empezando a aprender español.

Love the format
I really like that the Spanish comes first then the English. The chapters are very short and the story is good.

Wow!
TLDR: Great story, great way to learn.
I have practiced Spanish off and on for many years. One of the hardest parts for me had been to remember so many nouns! This book did a wonderful job of introducing and reinforcing, well, everything! The story was very engaging which was a great motivation to keep going when words were really tricky for me. It was a bit hard for me to comprehend at first since he has the English translation on a separate page but a few pages in I realized that it was better that way because it forced me to remember what I had just learned and to discern new words by context. The English translation is not always grammatically correct, as it was most likely written in Spanish first, but that was just fine with me. After all, I read the book to learn more Spanish, not practice my English!
