Title: an unmitigated disaster
Review: It breaks my heart that folks think this is a good book and trust it. First of all, this book is SEVEN years old and unrevised. It still thinks they are two AWA essays, even though there's only one now. More importantly, this book doesn't even know about the existence of the Integrated Reasoning section, which was introduced in June, 2012. It may be that this book is unintimidating to a beginning, but that's because the questions are on the easy side and the advice is superficial and generic. If you use this book as a starter, you definitely need a more solid book to get you up to speed. Honestly, I would recommend not wasting money on this particular volume. There are just too many excellent prep sources from which to choose ---- it just doesn't make sense to spend money on mediocre out-of-date material.
