I bought the Graded Readers 2 and 3. Previously, I had read a few of the Chinese Breeze readers, but they have not yet published beyond level three and that had become too easy. There is quite a big difference between the two series. Chinese Breeze have the advantage of no pinyin, and their MP3 recordings come with slow and fast readings which is great if you want to read along. Graded Readers have pinyin, but a card to block it out is provided, and the MP3 track is read at a pretty fast pace. The thing that makes the Graded Reader series so good, though, is the fact that you are reading real stories rather than those written for language students. The stories are therefore much more interesting. As you would hope, there is plenty of vocabulary and grammar recycling built into the adaptations. If you want to read Chinese for pleasure, these books are great.
