improving your vocabulary?

This vocabulary book is designed to teach the 'learning of language' + improve your vocabulary by understanding the origins of each root. very effective and useful in memorizing/expanding your vocabulary skills. there are quizzes every 8 words or so, which makes it easier to memorize. instead of just building your vocab. in alphabetical order, try learning by roots.

Amazing!

Takes the process of building up one's vocabulary one step further, by explainig the roots and origins of different prefixes and suffixes. Hence, you will be able to understand words not included in the book by simply deconstructing them, and interpreting the different parts. Truly excellent!

Useful.. but

Ok, I think this book is very useful for ESL students, or test takers, or people who need to build a vocab. but... I do not find it easy to use. The book is small pocket size and I like my textbooks to be a little bigger and printed on a little better paper. I mean, it's good for it's purpose, but just not nice to work with and that why I give 4 stars.

I love this book!

I was lucky enough to get this book as a grab bag gift. I love it. I have learned so much about the origins of words and find myself using new words all the time.
Granted, it is not Dan Brown's DaVinci Code, and can be dry reading at times.
But overall it is a wonderful book chock full of very interesting and educational information. Highly recommended. A copy of this book will join my favorite dictionary and thesaurus.
