Customer Review: This is a wonderful book, but you have to buy it new! There's a code on the inside for the strengths quiz, and you cannot reuse the code.

This is because there is an online ID code that can only be used by one person. If you are only intersted in the book, it shouldn't be a problem. For my class, I have to... more info
