Title: Too lame for today's teens
Review: I purchased this book for my SAT prep students on the advice of glowing reviews I read here, but frankly, if this book ever was hip, it definitely no longer is. The songs are corny and it is actually kind of hard to hear the vocabulary words enunciated in the singers' efforts to sound cool. I apologetically lent it to a younger student of mine who was studying for the ISEE and SSAT, but you can't fool a middle school student, either, it seems.On the plus side, the vocab lists and exercises can be a good supplement to other vocab drills, and the "graffitti wall" is perhaps a clever idea, but again, probably will be scorned by today's teens.
Is the review positive or negative?
