Summary: Fun Way to Expand Your Vocabulary
Review: This sets contains 5 CDs and goes through about 150 words. Of all Word Smart Vocabulary Building set CDs, this one has the most interesting words.
The first CD covers the vocabulary related to: Cruel to Be Kind; Country Mouse and City Mouse.
The second CD coverts the vocabulary related to: For Better or for Worse; War and Peace.
The third CD covers the vocabulary related to: From Mountains to Molehills; Rogers and Hart.
The fourth CD covers the vocabulary related to: Earth and Sky; Womb to Tomb.
The fifth CD covers the vocabulary related to: Socrates and Plato; Mutt and Jeff.
The recordings are very entertaining to listen to. After defining the words, they are dramatized, often in a humorous way, adding fun to the learning process.

Summary: Forget it!
Review: 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.
