5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic, 10 Sep 2008
This review is from: Homework for Grown-ups: Everything You Learnt at School... and Promptly Forgot (Hardcover)
I love this beautiful book. It is crammed full of everything I learnt at school and things i sadly didn't and brought it all flooding back. The authors have pulled off a good balance of fun writing style and facts expressed clearly and concisely. I would recommend as a gift for everyone who needs to refresh their minds before helping too clever children with their homework.

5.0 out of 5 stars SUPERB!!, 15 Oct 2008
By Jonathan Smith (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Homework for Grown-ups: Everything You Learnt at School... and Promptly Forgot (Hardcover)
I bought this book for a friends birthday who absolutely loved it, so much so I'm now going to buy it for all my relatives this Christmas. I love the quizzes in the book, and it is genuinely amazing to have all the things you learnt at school come flooding back. I can't recommend Homework for Grownups highly enough. Buy it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Top notch, 9 Sep 2008
This review is from: Homework for Grown-ups: Everything You Learnt at School... and Promptly Forgot (Hardcover)
This is a hugely informative, substantial and entertaining book, nice to hold and look at. Everything you have forgotten from school - and more - is here. Highly recommended.
