Unfortunately, I have not found this book to be of much help: it gives the reader a basis to work from, but it is not detailed enough.
The sample questions and answers look for the student to respond with no further input, and no follow up comments or answers to let them know that they are on track.
Fortunately, for me, my daughter is a whiz at English, and dissects any piece of literature with ease, but if you are not literally minded then this textbook is not going to be of much help.
The Active Book disc is a helpful extra, as it includes the option of listening to a narrator reading the anthology pieces, although the disc was a little noisy in my disk drive, but then most educational disks that I have used are.
