Hadley's Reviews

While Hadley is no longer employed here, her spirit lives on at Exodus Books. An exemplary worker, Hadley not only did a stint handling all the orders (both phone and mail), she also wrote a number of reviews for the Exodus Books website. Most of these reviews were of picture books, but she also reviewed the Veritas Press Omnibus curriculum.

The Omnibus Reviews ala Hadley Ayers are particularly valuable for their insider perspective. Hadley had completed much of the coursework contained in the series, and was thus able to outline their use and objectives with much better accuracy than Eli or Caleb could have achieved.

We're sure these reviews will be helpful, whether you're looking for kids' books or an advanced Classical education-style that will put even the best students to the test. Hadley writes clearly and thoroughly, ensuring that readers won't be left scratching their heads, wondering what is the actual content of the books they're wanting to buy.
