Title: It’s good but
Review: I think it’s genuinely a good product, but I do feel like it teaches you a bit of common wording, but I’ve barely read through it so far. I think it’s good for anyone who isn’t used to using these words, it’s what it offers

Title: Useful book
Review: Exactly the book I was looking for. English is not my first language and although I can speak it, I am looking to improve my vocabulary.The first delivery of this book arrived stained with blue ink, it was all over not sure how you can miss that when packaging. The second one was okay but thad been perused thoroughly, you could see it in the leafs. I don’t usually buy books from Amazon if I can help it because they do not come in great condition.

Title: Innovative but incomplete
Review: The first part should be removed; it is hyperbole and hypothetical. The second portion is innovative, as it gives you suggestions for common phrases, which is great. However, the word selection is very limited. Even words like ethical are not included. Also, the antonyms may be a little more powerful than the original word; it does not explore the erudite alternatives. It is a good supplemental book.

Review: What a premise. Well executed. Masterful short chapters at the beginning. The author has leveled-up his vocabulary and has organized his 'findings' for the benefit of us all. Interesting and useful, I can't wait to apply his strategies to improve some of my own writing. The suggestions really are fantastic throughout.PS most of the book is a thesaurus-like reference manual that can aid you on your quest for class. The best of this kind of book. Should be more popular. A find.
