Test of Time

Test of Time

by Charles Harrington Elster (2004)

I haven't actually finished this one, I terminated my reading after the initial chapters due to the distraction of bold print words in every single sentence -- why, you query?  Because those bold words just might be on the SAT and I need to build my vocabulary!  There's also some quizzes and a glossary in the back, and it seems like a good idea to expose students to an expanded assortment of words.  My problem wasn't the story, something about college students and Mark Twain break dancing, but too many $3 words is just bad writing.  That said, I'll give it to Son #2 for another opinion...
