Customer Reviews

Seller send the book on time and saved lots of money! - XYZ -
Very cheap and half the price then buying from any book store and seller send the book on time.



The worst seller - Kung S. Park -
It's been more than a month since I placed the order and I have not received my book. Amazon charged my credit card a month ago and I did not received my order. This is worst experience I have with Amazon.com. by the seller name "imthebestseller".



Not high on my list - D. Fitzhugh - Herndon, VA
I have used this book in the past, but I would never order if I were making a book choice unless the class is for native speakers. This book is published (I believe) by the ESL division of Pearson, but I believe it is too complex for ESL students. The language is difficult and it is too "science"-oriented for my taste. I think it works better in ESL as a reference book for the instructor, to be honest. Also, I would have given it two stars except that one of the introductory paragraphs repeats the often-spread rumor about Eskimos having a bazillion words for snow. Any text that spreads this nonsense is off to a bad start.
