My 12th grade daughter and I both really enjoyed the reading list included in this curriculum. While I also enjoyed the price, I found it somewhat lacking in content. Each unit opens with a brief introduction on either the author or novel to be focused on. The questions posed to the student are not very challenging; I sorely missed the Biblical applications included in other materials we've used in the past, specifically Progeny Press.

I was disappointed to find that there is no student book for this level. What parent is going to give their teen this book with the answers in it? We wound up having to buy another copy, and white out/staple/remove and remove pages of the answers. It was a real pain in the neck.The program itself is good, but I don't think it's worth having to jump through hoops because of no activity book.
