XL Q ，

Well structured content and exercises。 The only thing that needs to be improved is the binding。 Not user-friendly to write on when doing exercises。

A definitive classic in its own right！！ I was gifted this book by a teacher while I was a student of the eighth standard。 Other Vocab books have come and gone， but Lewis' book remains timeless。 Gift it to all those you wish to possess immaculate grip over the language of Milton and Shakeapeare and Dickens。 One feels tempted to quote James Nicoll who said: "The problem with defending the purity of the English language is that English is about as pure as a cribhouse whore。 We don't just borrow wor A definitive classic in its own right！！ I was gifted this book by a teacher while I was a student of the eighth standard。 Other Vocab books have come and gone， but Lewis' book remains timeless。 Gift it to all those you wish to possess immaculate grip over the language of Milton and Shakeapeare and Dickens。 One feels tempted to quote James Nicoll who said: "The problem with defending the purity of the English language is that English is about as pure as a cribhouse whore。 We don't just borrow words; on occasion， English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary。" You’ll infrequently find traditionalists care a fig for foreign words。 Nevertheless， English has been integrating them and making them its own， ever since the Vikings invaded northern England and introduced words like sky， dirt， take， egg， husband， they， and window。 And although Old English， was already a pretty rich and expressive language， this book almost carries you across 1500 years of copping vocabulary from far and wide， which has made English even more supple， amusing， and animated。 。。。more

Last book of this year。 Finished this book with a feeling of complete success 🙃。

I took this book as a challenge to sit with it and work with it during the course of it and I really felt that this book has many things to offers because it really teaches you how to paint with words rather than just a readymade painting。 This book demands perseverance but the results it offers are beneficial。 A great book。

This one was recommended for my academics。 But I would not limit itself to that。 Norman has a way of getting things across that I have rarely witnessed anyone else do。 What I like the most about this book is that it is interactive and engaging。 While being fun， the writer is very efficient in teaching how to view words and interpret them。 I would not put this book under the title of "vocabulary building" but rather "how to learn"。 This one was recommended for my academics。 But I would not limit itself to that。 Norman has a way of getting things across that I have rarely witnessed anyone else do。 What I like the most about this book is that it is interactive and engaging。 While being fun， the writer is very efficient in teaching how to view words and interpret them。 I would not put this book under the title of "vocabulary building" but rather "how to learn"。 。。。more

A marvellous book on vocabulary。。。 I find it easy and compelling。

This has got to be one if the most rewarding books I’ve ever finished。 This book is a vocabulary builder and I honestly thought it was going to be a boring， long endured effort to get through it。 However， I found it highly engaging with little stories and passages along the way， as well as explanations about the Latin and Greek roots of certain English words。 Throughout the book the author explains an idea then gives you the word to explain that idea afterwards。 With just enough repetition for y This has got to be one if the most rewarding books I’ve ever finished。 This book is a vocabulary builder and I honestly thought it was going to be a boring， long endured effort to get through it。 However， I found it highly engaging with little stories and passages along the way， as well as explanations about the Latin and Greek roots of certain English words。 Throughout the book the author explains an idea then gives you the word to explain that idea afterwards。 With just enough repetition for you to learn but not too much for it to get boring。 Every third lesson or so explores the Latin and Greek roots of the words you are learning to help you better learn the etymology。 This means that you can figure out the meanings of words you have never seen before by understanding these roots。 The book also contains quizzes， reviews and tests along the way to make sure you are retaining what you are learning。 I was surprised at my ability to retain so much of what I was learning but I think it is due to the design of the book as well as the reviews and tests throughout the book。 Psychology says the best way to learn information is to test yourself on the material instead of just rereading it， and I find this suggestion invaluable。 I can’t talk highly enough of this book and recommend it to anyone who wants to really grasp the English language， or to anyone who wants the ability to express themselves more fully and fluently。 。。。more

If you can work through it， this book is exceptional。 I finally had to commit to reading nothing else so that I would pick it up。 Every page and lesson was a delight。。。I'm just having difficulty breaking the bad habit of Netflix。 If you can work through it， this book is exceptional。 I finally had to commit to reading nothing else so that I would pick it up。 Every page and lesson was a delight。。。I'm just having difficulty breaking the bad habit of Netflix。 。。。more

The book is not bad。 However I didn't have enough patient reading it carefully。 I want conquest English words in rush。 In the end， I read it with a quick race。 So I retain little words。 It's true that haste makes waste; more haste， less speed; a watched kettle never boils！ The book is not bad。 However I didn't have enough patient reading it carefully。 I want conquest English words in rush。 In the end， I read it with a quick race。 So I retain little words。 It's true that haste makes waste; more haste， less speed; a watched kettle never boils！ 。。。more

This book is for someone wants to enrich their vocabularies。 If you’re non native speaker it can be quite challenging。 As an foreigner learning English， It took me 8 months to complete the book。 More than half if the time I spent for taking notes on flash cards and reviewing。 On other than that， a lot of synonyms appear throughout the book。Some words cannot found in dictionary for foreigner but merriam-webster。In general， I’ve leaned and encountered a lot of new words while reading， listening。 I This book is for someone wants to enrich their vocabularies。 If you’re non native speaker it can be quite challenging。 As an foreigner learning English， It took me 8 months to complete the book。 More than half if the time I spent for taking notes on flash cards and reviewing。 On other than that， a lot of synonyms appear throughout the book。Some words cannot found in dictionary for foreigner but merriam-webster。In general， I’ve leaned and encountered a lot of new words while reading， listening。 I’m going to update the list of words that I see through my life time to time。 。。。more

Nishchal Kumar ，

A great book to expand vocabulary by getting into the basics and root of the words

Chia-Yueh ，

One tenet that touches me from the book: word is the symbolization of ideas hence a large vocabulary is key to imbibe new ideas and accurately express our own idea。 Though a bit late， I'm glad I start to realize the importance of reading and that I start to learn English the same way a native speaker does。 I'm even a little complacent that I learnt some Latin and Greek roots。 I start to use more Webster dictionary to check out the word's etymology and its history。This books reminds me of the old One tenet that touches me from the book: word is the symbolization of ideas hence a large vocabulary is key to imbibe new ideas and accurately express our own idea。 Though a bit late， I'm glad I start to realize the importance of reading and that I start to learn English the same way a native speaker does。 I'm even a little complacent that I learnt some Latin and Greek roots。 I start to use more Webster dictionary to check out the word's etymology and its history。This books reminds me of the old days when I was preparing GRE。 The vocabulary from this book is about the same level of GRE， and is explained in a more logical etymological approach。In the recommendation to read more， the author suggests to read at least one book and several magazines a week。 To me this is formidable， if not impossible。 I need a goal and a plan。 。。。more
