1.0 out of 5 stars Brought it for a class, not by choice, June 24, 2007

By	Joker89 "Ever dance will the devil by the pal... (Brooklyn, NY USA) - See all my reviews

Didn't use much of it because the style was (for lack of a better word) bad. Buy Kaplan or Princeton (Princeton is the better of the two however Kaplan goes into more detail).

5.0 out of 5 stars Extremely Helpful, December 28, 2005

By	Maria Unanimous - See all my reviews

This book has deserved the five stars because it simply tells you what you need to know for the test. It contains practice questions with walkthroughs. It just doesn't tell u to remember this, it helps u out by making u write in the answere, or practice writing. It is filled with information in a clear, concise, but with some big vocabulary (that benefits you because u learn vocab for the test.
<font size = 5>The best part, that other books dont have, is a "cliffnotes or Sparknotes" inside the actual book. <font size = 3> It gives u a synopsis and then talks to u about the motifs, and symbols important for the essays. It contains famous books like Invisible man, pride and prejudice, A street care named desire, and many more (only about ten books). The practice test are also great and helpful
so in all, i highly recommend getting this book, like other great Barron's titles.
