After reading this book and probably most of the verbal reading books available, I can conclude that this book is not really a MAGICAL WAND THAT WILL CHANGE THE SCORE.

The review by Timberwolf actually misrepresents the material and what I think is a great book - it is factually incorrect and misleading. The exercises are ... Read More

Which is really the problem with this ... Read More

I just got this book in hopes that it will help me do well on the verbal section of the MCAT. It comes highly recommended and the exercises in this book should be done long before doing the MCAT.
