'What distinguishes the series from all the others is the zest and freshness of the textWhere the emphasis in other series is on plain and straightforward language, Cambridge English Reading texts typically use very modern expressions and the dialogue is faster moving. This has an impact on the quality of the audio cassettes, which make for very enjoyable listening.' David R. Hill, Survey Review: Readers, ELT Journal
'It was only a matter of time before a major ELT publisher set out to challenge the market dominance of Penguin Classics in the area of readers … CUP have hit back admirably. With something for everyone in your classes, this series is well worth investing in. In fact, it's going to be a difficult act to follow by other publishers.' IATEFL Issues
'The series breaks new ground in two respects. The first is the light and informal style of writing. It is notoriously difficult to write fluent prose using restricted lexis and syntax. Part of the secret is to use word and grammar lists flexibly; but it requires flair and a good ear to produce prose and dialogue that read so well and give such a genuine flavour of modern idiom.' English Teaching Professional
'These were a very good read: exciting fast-moving stories at all levels, and a good mixture of subjects. Most touched on up-to-date themes, such as corruption, refugees, psychology, hunger, feminism, or ecology without being prosy, or moralising.' BaNina Vivanco, SATEFL Newsletter Vol 19 No 3
'This is a well presented, authentic looking series of readers that students should enjoy. They are graded into five levels, and the accompanying cassette will be useful, especially for pronunciation audio versions are very popular with students.' Josephine Caruana, Network News, Issue 34

Johnson, Margaret: - I was one the luckiest people - I fell in love with theatre when I was a freshman in high school and was able to follow my dream teaching drama at Sentinel High School Missoula, MT for 37 years. During that time Margaret F. Johnson produced much more than great shows - she inspired many of her students to become theatre professionals. A few of her kids are now nationally-known Broadway actors, film stars, and backstage technician. Two were seen in Tony Award winning productions... Once and The Father. Kathleen McNenny, a Broadway actress also teaches at Julliard; Scott Michael Campbell, a writer, producer and director featured in the motion picture Brokeback Mountain, Push and Flight of the Phoenix and is currently in Showtime's Shameless; Tom Valach, an award winning freelance designer in the Palm Springs area; and John Shaffner, an Emmy Award-winning designer for many television productions including Friends, The Big Bang Theory and Mom as well as past president of the The Academy of Television Arts and Sciences. Margaret served as the Montana State Thespian Director from 1972-1992 and established the yearly state convention in partnership with the University of Montana, College of Visual and Performing Arts, which continues today. She directed over 190 productions, from children's theatre and modern classics to Shakespeare and full-blown musicals. During her retirement Margaret supervised student teachers, taught numerous classes including improv at the Osher Life Long Learning Institute at the University of Montana, and accepted acting roles at the Missoula Community Theatre, receiving two Missoula's Best Actor Awards where she had the privilege of working with former students.
