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.

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.
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.
Disappointing! As my daughter enjoys reading and writing stories, I thought this program would be fun. But to my disappointment, she didn't like it, as all it was is a fill in the blank program, and the program writes the story for you.
