 Rating:  - Will help a lot if you put a little time into itThis book has been a huge help for me for improving my vocabulary in preparation for the GREs. The stories may not always be Pulitzer prize quality, but they can still be helpful for remembering some of the more obscure words. I'm a big fan overall. Rating:  - Thoroughly mediocreI have a two hour commute each day and I'm trying to utilize that time in some positive fashion. I'm studying for the GRE and was looking for something I could listen to that would contribute to this goal/project. This was a waste of money, since I knew 98% of the words.

I'd say 95% of the words on the critical reading section were in this book, and it definitely helped me get my 800. This book is amazing, and I recommend it to anyone looking to ...
