Customer Reviews
Excellent.
This book is very thorough, along with all the other apologia science text books. If your child can master and retain the contents contained I have no doubt that they will be college ready. That said, these books are dense. So it’s a lot of material to cover. But that’s what makes it thorough. As a nurse, who’s taken many college level sciences I think this is great especially in Apple Books.
Usage issues
The 3 star rating is not a reflection of the content, which is solid middle school science from a Christian perspective. Instead, it is a reflection of issues relating to using the book in this format. For starters, one is unable to highlight and make a note relating to the material read. This would seem to be a big oversight for a textbook. Additionally, one is unable to increase the font size to aid in easier reading. While thumbnails have been included to help with navigation, the pages are counted like a pdf and so the thumbnails do not work correctly. For example, if an assignment is to read pp. 210-211 the thumbnail will instead take one to pp. 186-187. The same issue applies to using the search function.
