I am taking a college-level algebra class to fulfill some pre-reqs. I really regret that my high school algebra texts never devoted a full section on word problems, as this book does. I see now that's why I never really "got" them. This book categorizes the problems by type and offers a systematic method of setting up each type. That's what I needed all along!
The only negative about the book is that there are a couple of types of problems for which the author didn't develop a drawing or chart. That's too bad, but the book has helped me immensely overall.

I have been studying pre-algebra (hoping to move to on to algebra soon) in order to prepare myself for an assessment test. When I saw this book while researching what books to buy so I could study and get myself up to date after many years away from school, I thought it would probably come in handy.
I had been over 1/2 way through my other book when I got stuck on a word problem. Because it was an end of the chapter quiz, I had the correct answer, but not the detailed explanation of how they got to the answer. I was already getting frustrated when I saw this book sitting on the bedside table.
I pulled the book and opened it for the very first time, hoping I would be able to find what I was looking for without having to read through the chapters looking for it. What a pleasant surprise! The book has an index showing types of problems and where to find them. The problem I was having issues with was about calculating "age" so I went straight to the age section, hoping they would have a problem that was similar enough to the one I was stuck with so I could figure out what I had to do. There it was, among the 5 or 6 problems, there was one similar enough that I was able to figure mine out. I was very, very happy!
To be honest, that has been my only experience with the book so far, but in my opinion it was an experience worthy of writing this review.
Good luck!
