Review # 1 was written on 2014-04-01 00:00:00 Rachel Sandoval This book has an interesting online system for students, but still really misses the mark. The online assignment are basic grammar reviews, but aren't really helpful. The book separates reviews in the text from the actual homework assignments, which leads to having several tabs open at once and a general inconvenience. The vocabulary in the book is usually in Spanish and so you end up pulling out a dictionary to translate the translations of the vocab. Completely unnecessary. There are also assignments in both the text and the workbook, which led to a lot of confusion in my spanish class over where exactly the homework was coming from.

I learned a lot about military and guerilla strategy, the day to day life of the revolutionaries in the woods of the Sierra Maestra and the Cuban peasant life of the late 50s. I was captivated by the hopes and dreams of a whole generation of young men and women, and very touched by the numerous tales of bravery and falling soldiers... must read!
