book regales with revelrous and salutary stories and info
Normally one sees a grammer or vocabulary book and thinks 'Borrrring!' Let me tell you: *** This One is Different!!! *** 'SAT Practice' is the most funny, interesting and useful language and grammer book that I've ever seen! (In our house it is read just for fun.) In each chapter a silly and clever story includes short definitions of the advanced words in the margins, and then a glossary section. A quiz follows to check for comprehension. Every chapter then has a section discussing a difficult area of the English language, with the most crystal-clear examples that I've found anywhere. Following is our families' favorite part -- the 'Projects' section. These are interesting, clever, silly ... well, here's an example: 'Devise, define, and describe three parlor games, annoying practical jokes, or decorative mobiles involving paper clips, drier lint, feathers, and/or linguini. Use lists, making sure all constructs are parallel.' Even if you plan never to take the SAT, this book is worth having around for the fun -- and learning -- of it. I wish that I could buy one for each of my friends and family members!
