[.ca] The Princeton Review Word Smart Genius Edition CD: ... (ISBN 060981110X)

Forget it!:
This was the most disappointing CD. I have a long commute so I thought this would be great opportunity to brush up on my vocabulary. This is a great CD if you want to impress people with words they will have to ask you the meaning of. Totally ridiculous! Most of the words sounded like another language. Not a way to improve your language skills, but the best way to isolate yourself and show your superiority. At the same time I bought the Verbal Advantage book. Great!! That is a gradual transition from common vocabulary to more complex, it's your choice. That's something that I think was lacking with this CD. Break out the cheese and wine and impress your leftist friends. Oh, I forgot to mention the Barbara Streisand and Bill & Hillary examples, wonder which way these people lean??? This rating system only goes as low as one star, otherwise I would have choosen 0 stars. Save your hard earned money and buy something that is useful.
