Title: Know what you're buying...
Review: After being very impressed by Barron's Organic Chemistry book, which I used to help me study for the PCAT, I bought this Calculus book without looking inside. It's nothing like the other book I bought. It's written like a novel, with ponderous medieval settings and dialogue used to explain calculus concepts that should really be straightforward.I hated it. Maybe if you have no practical need for learning calculus, or if you have infinite time on your hands to do so, you'll like it. But for me, it made it 1000 times more difficult to learn. I had to dig through mountains of foolishness to find what was really a simple rule. It's not like it balances the "fun" with a clear presentation of concepts--it's all fun, and the concepts themselves are hidden like Easter eggs. Calculus the hard way, if you ask me. I'd rather have a regular calculus textbook any day, if they weren't so darn expensive.
