This is a very well written book. The strategies for Reading comprehension, sentence equivalence and fill-in-the-blanks are awesome. Also, the vocabulary list is very well balanced. There are books like Barron's which rely too much on vocabulary - which doesn't work. This book is the right balance of everything. Go for it! Highly recommended.

I really liked the book, and the best part was the reading. They are really close to what I saw in the exam.

I have to rewrite my review, because this is a good book and I was seeing the virtues yet until now.
The vocabulary section is excellent. The book divided the words in a pattern you are not feeling tired when learning it, and every list following a New GRE style practices. And I can tell the questions are detailed and well-designed--the correct answer is not just the words you just learned (unlike barron's.)
The writing section is a little simplified from my point of view. But it might work well on exam.
I had admitted, this book has a lot of exercises and hints, so I recommend to everyone. The price is really good for the quality of the book.
