    Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

    Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Current Support For This Product Is Not Available
    Think twice before purchasing this software. We have had it about 3 years and the first time we printed a book it worked fine, but now, after my daughter spent a few hours creating the fill-in text for this book, it will not upload properly and there is no support on the Knowledge Adventure website. In fact, I called the support number which says it is open until 9 pm (Eastern Time) and I called at 7:50 pm and the recording not only says they are closed, but they will reopen on "Monday." Today ... Read More



    Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - So much fun, but wanted more
    This was a nice idea, but there should have been more options to personalize the books. We did get one book printed out in paperback and it's a beautiful book. But again, my daughter who did this in the 4th grade felt that she would have liked to be able to edit the story more to show her personality. Perhaps it would be better for younger kids.

    Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - NOT AS DESCRIBED!!!
    This is NOT "Books By You!" This is "Books By John Lithgow!" The description is misleading. I thought this software would enable my daughter (age 9) to write and print her own books. NOT SO. Kids are simply filling in the blanks of provided stories. My daughter played with this for 20 minutes and hasn't touched it since. Absolutely UNINSPIRING! A waste of money.



    Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Not what I expected
    Like some of the other reviewers have said, all you do is fill in some one word answers in a story that's already written. Thought my child was going to get to do alot more creative writing.
