5.0 out of 5 stars Princeton Review Delivers, February 13, 2000
By A Customer
I bought the Barron's LSAT book first and that was a lame disappointment. Then I got the Princeton Review book and all of a sudden, the LSAT seemed beatable. The folks at Princeton Review earned their money by simplifying the LSAT as much as possible. Their test-taking strategies are extremely thorough and written for clarity. Cracking the LSAT is kind of like an "LSAT for Dummies" book. The writers' sense of humor and cynicism make the book lighter to read too. And unlike Barron's, this book explains all five answer choices to a question in the sample exams, not just two or three. I was scoring around 159 with the Barron's book. With the Princeton Review, I got a 165 on the December LSAT.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Book for Serious Prospective Law Students, June 23, 2000
By A Customer
I have bought all the prep books on the market, Kaplan, Barron's, Arco, Petersons, etc. and this is the best by far. The techniques presented are straightforward, logical, simple, and most importantly, effective ! If you are serious about doing well on the LSAT, trust me on this. The only area that needs improvement is the lack of tests in the book. It only has two exams but unlike other prep books, they are very closely modeled after the real LSATs. Other than that, this is the only book you will need in order to learn the necessary skills, techniques, and the knowledge of the test to do very well and feel good about your future as a result.

2.0 out of 5 stars Filled with errors and arrogance, February 5, 2001
By A.C. "aaroncrowell" (Washington, DC) - See all my reviews
At first, this books seems good - helpful, friendly, and complete. However, as you go through the course, you discover that the book is filled with errors, and important ones at that. The most typical error is that the explanations of the problems often seem to refer not to the question in the book, but a question from a previous edition of the book. This causes great problems, especially considering they place the answers to the practice problems in these explanations. Secondly, the books "friendly" tone gets old fast. Statements like "Reading comprehension tests your ability not to rip up the test into little pieces and fling them at the proctor," are sometimes funny, but their repetition reveals not the absurdity of the LSAT, but that of the writers of this study guide. Finally, the books seems geared to those who would like to receive an "average" score (approx. 150-155). If you want to do very well, you might want to look elsewhere, or at least buy supplementary books. This one will not get you there alone.
