This Book actually gives you a reason to open it again and again and complete it as soon as possible. We cant defy the fact that this book carries a lot and is worth going for. You would actually feel like u are interacting with author. I Have just started and gaining much of it.
It is not a reading book. Instead, it is a work book. You need to work with the book. Follow the exercises suggested by the author, although they are very repetitive in nature but that’s because you don’t forget the words.
The author explains the root of each word, and so if you find the same root link in any other word, you get to guess its meaning. For example, the root link'Ben', means'Good'. So, words with the same root link imply a positive connotation. Few examples:
Benign- kind, not-harmful
Benediction - blessing, saying good
Beneficent - doing good
Benefactor - one who does good things for another
The author gives plethora of such root links.
Also, the end of the book has word lists from A-Z and has around 1000 words. So, if you read about 15 words per day along with a chapter, you can complete the book by 3 months. You can also make flash cards with these words and read while you're waiting for your coffee or bus.
