This book is great for people who are studying for the GRE. It helps you learn words in an unusual manner that makes the words stick. When you mug up words (a dry and boring task), they tend to become a big gooey mess in your head when you try to recollect the meanings several days and many words later. You tend to get confused and mix up meanings and words. This book saves you from that, as it forces you to learn the words through usage. The book starts with a paragraph using the new words and stimulates your brain to deduce the meaning of the word based on how it has been used. It then gives you an exercise that makes you fill in blanks using these words. This way the words do stick. I have noticed that I have been able to retain the words and meanings for longer this way. The Kindle version is particularly useful because everything is linked and indexed in such a way that all you need to do to access an answer to a question is click on the question number and it will take you to the answer. It saves you the trouble of flipping through pages and locating the answers for the correct exercise. Almost everything can be done with a few clicks on the mouse. Also, the 'highlight' and 'bookmark' features are great to revise words and to track your progress. If you are using a Kindle Reader App on a laptop, you can double click on a word and may get the option to download an additional dictionary, once this is done you will have the ability to click on any word used in the book and get its meaning and usage straight from this dictionary. This is particularly helpful when you want to explore different definitions/usage examples of a word to be confident about them.
