Rea's Interactive Flashcards: Gre Vocabulary Builder (Interactive Flashcards)

Rating:
Summary: Too Basic and Too Floppy
Review: The level might be appropriate for the some non-native speakers. But many of the words are way too easy for most people who went to college (this include words like ethnic, exemplary, passive, ideology, profound). Don't buy this book if you want flashcards. It provides you with flashcards in a book version which the authors thinks is beneficial: you don't lose them, you have an index, etc. Since the paper is too soft, you can't cut them out and use them as regular flashcards. If you like this book version idea and if you English is mediocre, well, only then I would consider buying this book.

Summary: Not Impressed
Review: This book contains around 900 different words. It is organized as flashcards in a bookform, with 3 words on every page. If you are disorganized and always lose your flashcards, I guess that this is the book for you. However, I was disappointed at having a lot of semi-flashcards that where too soft to be cut out, and that I could not organize as I wanted. Moreover, I found that many of the words were too easy (almost one third) even though I am not a native speaker. So native speakers must find this level ridiculously easy. The book claims to be "interactive". With that word it refers to a line beneath each word where you can feel free to write your own definition. Then again I just guess that my definition of interactive is disparate to the others definition.
