5.0 out of 5 stars The best vocabulary book available, Jul 15 2004
By A Customer
I've seen many vocabulary books -- those that contain lists of thousands of words, and those that imitate Phillips' technique. The imitators are all (as of this writing) cr*p. Many of them are quite useful if you regard "book", "chair", "indirect", etc. to be vocabulary words. I hope that Phillips comes out with another book of more advanced words for the ultimate GRE preparation.

The only problem I have with the book is that it needs to be larger. Sometimes the words come at you so quickly that they lie adjacent to one another -- in some cases three at a time!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great idea, Feb 8 2004
By A Customer
This book is a excellent idea and it works! The only comment I have is that sometimes many similar words are used at the same point in the story (e.g. listless, enervating, langour). This makes the reading not so interesting and the definitions confusing since they're so similar. Another example, "trite cliche". Perhaps this is the authors intention, to group the synonyms. But maybe greater separation of the words will help the reader better appreciate the nuances of their meanings.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works like magic, Dec 4 2003
By Gisela Gonzalez (Miami, Fl USA) - See all my reviews
I purchased The Wizard of Oz nearly two months ago and it has given me fabulous results. Every day, whether I hear it on TV or in person, I recognize at least one of my new words. My vocabulary has extended tremendously and I could not be happier. I previously tried many methods. I even tried reading the entire thesaurus! Yet my vocabulary did not seem to make any progress. This book works like magic. It would be great if schools all over the nation became aware of this and bought them for every student. I strongly recommend this book.
