This book presents new vocabulary in an intelligent and sensible manner. Words are presented with meanings, in context, and with a short testing. I am using this book to tutor a student with excellent results.

I like challenges - this is one - especially for the younger aged highschooler. It's almost divided into too much work for one week - I had to "rearrange" the study and divide it into two week segments - otherwise my 9th grader got lost and in the end didn't know many of the words. Great for vocab building though and I will keep using it.

I love this book for increasing my vocabulary. I had an older version that is all old and torn. But this one is so much more and has a lot of new items in it. Great for anyone who wants an extensive vocabulary.

This book is very practical in its word selection; all are words that most everyone will eventually run into in modern-day media. This book requires very little time to learn some very practical stuff.
