My daughter had a couple of years of classes with these books and really didn't like them. She's very verbal and not as strong in math so it sounded like it would be good. The trouble for her is that the story was distracting from the actual math and she found it very hard to get around in the books... to look back to refresh herself on a topic or note important concepts. Everything is buried in the story. Plus the page layout is challenging.
I would say the books are polarizing and might be the kind of thing you want to try out for yourself.
Edited to add: that link just above has a longer review from me with similar content. I'm starting to repeat myself, sorry everyone!
