Reviews

[Samuel Youngblood · Rating 3 out of 5]

Mostly fill in the blank, multiple choice, or matching with quotes directly from the book. Some thought provoking questions added, but I wouldn’t say it significantly adds to the book besides making sure you paid some attention to the chapters and can reflect a bit on some of the introduced concepts.
