Book Reviews of Merriam-Webster's Vocabulary Builder
Book Review: I prefer 1000 most important words.
Summary: 4 Stars
This is the vocab book we used for my SSAT-prep class. It is grouped into 25 units, each with 8 roots and 1 latin section, each root has 4 words based on that root, total 40 words each section. After every two roots is a practice section, after every unit is a practice section for the unit. This is good for test takers.
I gave it 4 stars because a book named " 1000 most important words", I think, is a lot better than this. The second book is funnier, much smaller(Webster is a very big pocket size book, hard to put in pocket), and words are listed A-Z. "1000 words" is special made for taking tests, so it doesn't have all the practices, but I think that another reason why it's better. For a person trying to learn more words, to have better writting and speaking skills, I think "1000 most important words"(available on Amazon), is better. For test, Webster's
Book Review: gift book
Summary: 4 Stars
This item was given as a gift to a friend, who specifically requested it, and expressed great satisfaction on receiving it. Pricing, delivery and product integrity were all satisfactory. My rating it a 4 out of a possible 5 reflects only the fact that I lack first hand experience with the purchased item, and can only reflect the limited information conveyed to me by its recipient.Book Review: Useful.. but
Summary: 4 Stars
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.
Book Review: Helpful
Summary: 4 Stars
I thought this book was going to be a book to read, but it seems to be more of a reference book, with listings as in a dictionary. Although, it has been helpful to me while writing some of my stories.
