Clemma

Fairly straightforward

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 April 2021

The novel was quite easy to read at my level. Chapters are short, vocab not very testing. I didn't like the summaries at the end of each chapter. Much better for the reader to try to make their own summary in Spanish. The summaries in English didn't appear to have been written by a native speaker as the English was rather odd at times. In any case, it is my opinion (and that of the OU) that it is better for the learner to try to understand the Spanish and so learn to think in Spanish, rather than falling back on English.

A good practice but not quite a good read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 January 2018

It does its job quite nicely as a means of practising reading at this level. I found it fairly easy going with just enough challenge in the vocabulary to make it a challenge now and then but still with the pleasure of plot uppermost. It got me into the story quickly and compulsively but as it went on it became disappointingly predictable with no twists or surprises so that by the end I was bored with the story and characters but it was still a good language practice and there are not so many materials at this level.

Reviewed in the United States on 13 April 2018

I've read quite a few adapted books in Spanish- all of the books from B1 up through C2 by Paco Ardit (also good, but I felt a bit easier than the difficulty levels on the covers indicated), and one by Juan Fernandez. So not only can I review this book, El Secreto del Molino, on its own merits, but I can also compare it a bit to other graded readers.
So- the story itself is engaging, it is a good mystery story and there is a feeling of tension and uncertainty the entire time you read. The language is definitely a bit challenging- which is indeed as it should be, this is a low advanced text. Compared to the C1 and even C2 books by Paco Ardit, I would say El Secreto del Molino is by María Danader is more challenging because it has some specific vocabulary items, for example "trapdoor", "threshold", "bats", and so on. This is in marked contrast to Ardit's stories, which feel like they have all the grammar constructions you'd expect from a high level text, but seem to have eliminated almost all vocabulary you'd need to look up in the name of giving the reader an easier reading experience. Personally, I prefer Danader's approach. Almost all of the time, I could read the text and understand the main actions, even though I missed some words completely or partly. It only happened a couple of times that a single sentence had multiple hard words. So I was able to follow along pretty well; I still had a smooth read.
A couple other things about this book... At the end of each chapter is a summary of what you've just read, first in Spanish, then in English. This is really good I think for people who have bought the book and either are in a bit above their heads, or understood what they've read but are unsure IF they've understood. Also, about half of the book is a glossary of a lot of the difficult words from the text. You could in principal learn all the hard words before reading this way. Finally, the book is not set in the present, which is something I really like. All of the other adapted books I have read- Ardit and Fernandez were in the present or future. So the setting was a nice change of pace.
Overall, I greatly enjoyed this book and will now buy the next C1 book from Danader. I also think I will at some point get the B2 books.
Thanks for writing this book, María!
