| A little brevity would've went a long way.Instead of typing a paragraph, I'll do a bullet point review to make this review more readable.
Pros of this Book
* A lot of good information can be had here if you're willing to read
* Very useful info on proper diagramming techniques
* The drills throughout the chapters help with learning the application of techniques
* The organization is excellent in this book. The most common game types are at the front of the book while the more obscure game types are in towards the back of the book
* The drill explanations are detailed. The most important thing to do is to look over drills/questions and learn why answers are correct or incorrect and where you messed up if you got a question wrong.
Cons of this Book
* The author at times wrote too much to make a simple point. It can be daunting to read due to the needless text making the reader want to skim
* This book is expensive, so one has to budget carefully to make room for this book
* The use of actual LSAT questions can end up tainting one's practice tests
* The tone of the author can be haughty at times (I don't mind, but others probably would). The author suggests some techniques for diagramming and time management as if it were the best when people have to develop their own style. The author also attacks other prep books and companies needlessly.
* Some of the techniques are good, some are too impractical to be useful. Using hypotheticals to answer questions would eat up too much time during the real test.
* There are some typos throughout the book. Nothing that makes the book unreadable, but it can be annoying at times.
All in all, this is a good book for learning the basics of LG. If you do well on LG already, then this isn't worth a purchase, but if you're like me and struggle with LG, then this is a worthy purchase. Of course, buying PTs and other similar study aids are far more important, so don't make this your first purchase, especially if you haven't taken a couple diagnostics first. This book is too expensive to buy without KNOWING if you need it.
