This book left me with more questions than answers. The word problems in the end of each section went completely without explanation on how to solve them. The story-line was wordy, and any math tips worth reading were few and far between. I got frustrated very early, and bought another book. (The greatest book to learn Algebra is "Practical Algebra - A Self-Teaching Guide". I believe anyone can sail through that book with little struggle.) I am still puzzled that the title of this book contains the word "Easy" in it! Not for me!

I bought this book to help my daughter with her 8th grade algebra class. After going through it, I found the book completely useless. If you looking for quick help to problems this is definately not for you. You must first read a fairy tale (not interesting for a 13 yr old) to finally get to the questions. The book is so consumed in telling a story that it does not really help with answering the day to day questions your child receives in class. I never ended up using it. It was a definate waste of money.

Excellent teach yourself book
Makes learning algebra interesting. In spite of title coverage is not lightweight. Usually thorough explanations. Great exercises - all have answers given.

Very easy to learn algebra but on an 7th grade student level
A very good tool for algebra but as an older college student trying to brush up on algebra I found the stories of kings, wizards and such a little tuff overcome. Maybe the same author should relate these principles to older audiences in a different light using a different story line.
