The Kaplan book does what it says it will do. It is a good review book, however if you haven't had any of the science sections in a while it will not be enough to refresh your memory. Overall, I would reccomend this book.

We were renovating our house during the holiday season, and couldn't get to our traditional advent items. This calendar helped make the season for us! We got it as an early Christmas gift. Each morning, one of our two children (ages 5 & 7) took turns opening the little door, and adding to the set and their growing Lego collection. This stimulated their imagination and creativity, and lasts a lot longer than a piece of candy from other calendars. Even weeks later, they still have and play with the set. It had a lot of figures, and really fun pieces (skis, dog, computer desk, coffee mug, etc.). I would definitely do this again.

I have to agree with several other reviewers. This is one of the best TV series I have ever watched. I would give it 10 out of 5 stars if Amazon had that option. Consumer alert, give yourself plenty of time if you start to watch. I just watched all 8 episodes last night. I could not stop watching. The plot is interesting and original. The actors are great. Billie Bob Thornton is fabulous. William Hurt's approach to his character is reminiscent of Marlon Brando in Apocalypse Now. I really liked Nina Arianda's spunky lawyer. You go girl! What I also love, love, love is what it does not have. It does not have any zombies or vampires. It does not have tons of violence or action heroes. It does not have any travel into the future or back in time. The time is today, not World War II, or any other 20th century time where it seems like the movie studios are just trying to use their props. It depicts drinking alcohol and using drugs realistically. You don't have a lot of gorgeous actors basically just drinking and using drugs, having sex, and engaging in unremitting violence as a way to solve problems. And the ending is poignant and deep. I'm so grateful to Amazon Prime for this I could just cry. More please!
