Reviews

[Alyce Hunt · Rating 4 out of 5]

Probably closer to a 3.5 star, but it’s hard to rate textbooks. I found the Creative Writing sections a little dry, but enjoyed the activities which were set. The Twelfth Night and Jane Eyre sections added a good amount of context to the play and the novel respectively, and I enjoyed discovering more about them.
