Extremely Helpful!

This book is an excellent guide to building your vocabulary. The fact that it departmentalizes words into common topic areas is extremely helpful. This is great primarily because it allows readers to better understand the context of the words being learned. Many of the words presented may be familiar to the average person, however, I feel that this helps to make the learning process alot smoother in that it doesn't pressure the reader into feeling he or she should learn so much at one time.
