Pros

Olly's short stories are a useful supplement to grammar and usage texts. The vocabulary in these series of stories builds on itself.

This book helps me a lot with comprehension. Great for the beginner, or beginner-intermediate. Language and grammar are geared for an advanced beginner.

It is an enjoyable part of my morning ritual and the first full fledged book i have read in spanish. I see a lot of comments from people saying that this book is not for beginners. I think that complete beginners may struggle a bit with this book thou...  Read More

The language is accessible, yet challenging. Great for me. I forgive the fact that they don’t always hang together perfectly.



Cons

The use of verbs is confusing. Stories are mildly entertaining if you are quite fluent in spanish. My fault for not reading the details close enough to notice that it wasn't many of the books that i have are even when they don't need to be.

Highlights

Quality


But there’s a typo on chapter with the watch and it’s “siglo decimoséptimo” not “sigo decimoséptimo” like the book has written.


But that just means becareful with picking it up, do that when you’re confident with the present, both pasts and both futures.


I'm halfway done with the book and decided to test my cefr level again.

Price


But it was a fun way to practice my spanish at an inexpensive price.

Competitiveness


Great way to learn vocab and conjugations in story context, even though the story genres weren't my favorites.


If his books were more latin american, it would be a hotter book on the market.
