"I purchased this book to help me study for the GRE. It has a great, easy to follow lay out with great examples of how a word is used, pronounced, and changed through the ages. I recommend this book for those who want to expand their vocabulary by focusing on the roots of words."
"An absolutely dry information overload, yet surprisingly effective. Words are organized according to shared roots and origins, with brief history and/or contextual information. Readers with a generally advanced understanding of vocabulary will even have much to gain. Includes usage activities to help the reader retain what is learned."
"My freerice.com help! I really enjoy the root work sections. It helps so much to be able to take apart a word and understand why it means such and such. The point is to bring words out of the shadows and into the working vocabulary. Definitely worth a shot!"
"Great for lexicon review and growth. Any language lover would find it useful. Tests and all. You can pick it up any time, while going to the bathroom or just before bed. But be sure to read it out loud. Repeat the words at least three times. Then try to use them in sentences, both written and vocal. Much better than word puzzles!"
