Average Customer Rating:

Not perfect, but it will help you get ready for the Analytical Writing section

Customer Rating:

This book won't help you write the great american novel, but it will get you ready for the GRE Analytical Writing section. It is a great workbook. I borrowed several books on this subject (including Peterson's Writing Skills for the GRE) from the library before settling on [buying] this one. It helped me understand the mechanics of the Writing section and how to tackle the essays effectively. Each chapter is organized in sections that present a topic and end with a short practice exercise. The practice exercises are numerous, just one chapter has 25 of them. There are many sample essay prompts for writing practice too.

Poorly writen test prep

Customer Rating:

This book is supposed to give readers exmaples of good writing styles and manners. However, there are ample grammar mistakes, typos and junk spoken English. Even in the answers to the practices, I could find poorly writen sentence like: "Many people are obsessed with video games and television, which I believe are relatively harmless wastes of time." For God's sake, it just talked about good grammar a few pages before this! This book is just another junk to make money but not to help readers. I am wondering if I read the whole book, my score will go up or go down!
