 Good grammar book October 1, 2008
It didn't get here as fast as other things that I have bought on Amazon, but it has been a good book for my class at the university.
 Excellent advanced text for serious students of Spanish June 21, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I used an earlier edition of this book as part of an advanced, private tutorial in writing and grammar, and still refer to it for subtle questions of grammar and uses of idioms. It is the best, single text for an advanced student of Spanish as a second language that I, as an adult learner, have run across.
The book itself has excellent questions and exercises, and the supplementary workbook is entirely optional. The workbook does not match the elegance of the textbook, itself, in my opinion. The workbook is worthwhile if you feel you need to solidify for yourself some of the confusing grammatical points, and especially if this is your first exposure to advanced Spanish.
As the author notes in her "correction," the three star rating given by the first reviewer refers only to the workbook. One could quibble whether the primary textbook deserves 4 1/2 or 5 stars, but certainly no less. If the price seems too high (it is a college text, and priced accordingly), you might want to try to find an earlier edition, used.
Correction May 25, 2008

My name is Maria C. Dominicis and I am one of the authors of the book REPASE Y ESCRIBA. My co-author is Professor John J. Reynolds. The Workbook that accompanies the main text was not written by us but by Professor Thomas Allen, from the University of Wisconsin. Amazon should make this correction in their page. Also, the review that Amazon publishes refers to the Workbook, not to the main text, and the three-star rating should apply to the Workbook only since the main text hasn't been reviewed so far.
Thanks.
Accurate answer key? September 30, 2007
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
My Spanish professor (a PhD) disagrees with some of the answers in the answer key. I have no opinion regarding this. Workbook, like most textbooks, is overpriced and unnecessarily revised. Good supplement to the text if one wants extra practice.
