This review is from: Kaplan Becoming a U.S. Citizen: Understanding the Naturalization Process (Paperback)

I found this book disappointing. I like books that are succint and to the point, like Ilona Bray's book [[ASIN:1413305245 Becoming a U.S. Citizen: A Guide to the Law, Exam & Interview]-- better yet, get the 4th edition]. Kaplan takes you deep into US history and civics, which isn't bad, of course, but irrelevant in the preparation for the interview. It also leads to fears that you will be asked questions outside those posted on the uscis.gov website. Perhaps this book is of greater value to those who need to expand their English or learn even the fundamentals about US history, but if not, don't bother.
