Excellent for learning Spanish after you know the basics of the connector words, such as his, hers, of, to, the, etc... once you know these, you will start to see the pattern of how the future and past is communicated via the change in the ending. There are also lots of expressions which is how people often talk. The translation is conviently to the right and the glossary in the back allows you to quickly look up the words so you are sure about which is the correct translation, since noun and adjectives are often reversed so you can mix them up if you follow the order of the translation. It's only useful if you use it in conjunction with some kind of course that teaches you Spanish grammar. The most effective use for me was to read each story and understand the meanings bc the next story would often have some of the words used in the previous story so you build your recognition that incrementally. Also, what i did is to recursively go back and reread starting from the beginning each time I read a story. So each time it helped learn to read faster and faster which helps you with each additional story. The stories are entertaining so it keeps you engaged.
