Customer Reviews

Excellent learning resource

This book really stands out in a over produced field. It is so clear that the author works with kids on a regular basis and is writing from a bottom up perspective. This book i really an incredible help. Fun, engaging, and practical. Defining Twilight stands out!

An Excellent and Engaging Learning Tool

This book is an excellent resource for anyone who wants to improve their vocabulary and/or standardized test scores. Fans of "Twilight" will no doubt appreciate the references to words and characters from that book, but one does not need to read the novel to find Mr. Leaf's methods engaging and highly effective. As an educational professional, I am very impressed with Mr. Leaf's ability to increase the reader's vocabulary (and ability to determine the meaning of unknown words) while seamlessly weaving in loads of invaluable exam taking strategies and techniques. "Defining Twilight" is a powerful educational tool that I highly recommend to parents and teachers, fans of "Twilight," or anyone who is seeking an engaging and enjoyable way to harness the power of words.

SAT review that isn't painful?

As anyone who has actually read this book knows, "Defining Twilight" makes an educational game of learning vocabulary in a way that actually makes words stick in your head (regardless of your personal opinions of Stephenie Meyer!). I personally haven't encountered a better, less painful way to study for the SATs, or any other standardized test that requires you to have a super vocabulary. Brian Leaf has not only found the key to "Twilight's" vocabulary, but also to a new method of studying. I highly recommend his SAT books, "McGraw-Hill's Top 50 Skills," to anyone who appreciates a humorous, fun way of getting good grades.

Defining Twilight is fantastic!

Brian Leaf has written an absolutely fantastic book which is the perfect tool to master vocabulary for the SAT, ACT, GED, and SSAT!! Defining Twilight is not only the perfect tool - it's also FUN!!

Priceless tool for learning vocab in an entertaining way

With this book, Brian Leaf makes it possible to learn test vocab in a fun, stimulating way, instead of putting me to sleep like lots of other workbooks.
