If only...
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 14 years ago
I absolutely love this book for my upper level conversation spanish class! The only drawback is that the book doesn't have a grammar reference section in the back like most Spanish textbooks. If only it had that as a point of quick reference I could give it 5 stars.
It was a good read.

I had to read this book for a class I am am taking. I think it is an excellent learning tool. My only gripe would be that, as an advanced book for those learning Spanish, there are many colloquial terms. This is not a problem, except, I wish they did a better job of explaining some of the terms to their English equivalent. This would be very helpful, because they use all Spanish worlds to explain the vocab (similar to when you look up an unfamiliar word in English in a regular dictionary). However, if you take to the book, seriously, you will learn much.
Good for vocab and ideas
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
This book is handy for those intermediate level Spanish speakers who want to increase vocabulary about certain topics. The ideas are not very sophisticated at all, but it presents ideas from different perspectives, and provides some decent vocab. I've been using it to prep for the Foreign Service Spanish exam, and it has proven helpful. It doesn't cover enough abstract ideas for the 3 level, but it gives enough vocab and grammar to help you get there.
Does What It's Supposed To

I wouldn't consider a few of the topics in this textbook controversies, but otherwise it does the job. If you have a Spanish class that is mostly focused on improving your formal Spanish vocabulary, this is a good tool.
