2.0 out of 5 stars read the newspaper and a good novel instead, June 13, 2001
By 
This review is from: KAPLAN SUCCESS WITH WORDS FOR THE TOEFL: THE ENGLISH VOCABULARY GUIDE FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS (Success With Words, Vocabulary Guides for Students and Professionals) (Paperback)
this book is unlikely to meet students' and professionals' needs and expectations, maybe because it's trying to do two distinct things at once: prepare students for the TOEFL and help readers incorporate the words into their active vocabulary.

TOEFL prep is probably best served by drill, and this book offers a useful division of vocabulary into manageable chunks.

actually incorporating vocab into your daily speech, however, is quite a different task, and this book offers little in that direction. i find both the 'conversation' and 'short talk' components to each chapter to be quite stilted and unnatural sounding--the exact opposite of the kind of model the target audience actually needs. reading a newspaper and a good novel and then discussing them with others is more likely to produce lasting vocabulary growth.
