Book Reviews of Verbal Advantage: 10 Steps to a Powerful Vocabulary
Book Review: A fun and interesting way to build your vocabulary
Summary: 5 Stars
I reach for this book every time I have a free minute. The selection of words are ones I can really use, not off the wall words that will not help my professional growth. As a guidance counselor, I'm always looking for cool words since I talk to people all day! The book gives excellent examples about using the words in the correct context and provides interesting tid bits about word origins. This is a great resource.
