I was thinking it was more of a dumbed down cliff notes. Which I do find sort of saddening. But I could also say that the grapes of wrath as a kids book would at least be interesting. The problem is a lot of the art of books is how they're written. Short concise sentences vs long windy ones, or elegant ones etc. There's a feel to it as much as anything, and studying literature is really very much about understanding that.

I actually do think it will have an impact on reading comprehension because cliff notes also did. A lot of the people who couldn't handle the original text weren't reading it of their own volition. They were reading it for school. And chances are if they used cliff notes, they're likely to use this too.
