Product Description

Designed for school districts, educators, and students seeking to maximize performance on standardized tests, Webster's paperbacks take advantage of the fact that classics are frequently assigned readings in English courses. By using a running thesaurus at the bottom of each page, this edition of Long Odds by H. Rider Haggard was edited for students who are actively building their vocabularies in anticipation of taking PSAT¿, SAT¿, AP¿ (Advanced Placement¿), GRE¿, LSAT¿, GMAT¿ or similar examinations.

Customer Review: Super Reader

If you are stuck in a wagon, surrounded by a pride of lions, with a cub licking at the exposed skin of your leg, that is about when you realise that taking on a lion pride by yourself was really, really, really stupid.

As the man in question says in the story, you chances are then really pretty 'long odds'. Not an activity that is to be advised for any sensible individual. Overconfidence can mean you are dinner.
