One star because the GRE is a racket.
I appreciate that the authors of this book seem to recognise the GRE is a racket with no actual meaning or value, but that doesn't stop them cashing in on the racket anyway.
Further commentary: this book seems more helpful people who have trouble with the verbal section than the maths section. How can I tell? The 'Here's How to Crack It' sections for the Verbal Question Drills seem to explain everything to their most basic component, while their equivalent sections in the Math Question Drills sometimes go 'okay so if this equation is x, then that clearly means y', which isn't very helpful for someone as numerically illiterate as myself. I sit there thinking 'how the hell did they go from x to y??' while reading the answers for verbal I think 'well but that's obvious'.
I wish they made the answer explanations for Maths as blindingly obvious as they did for Verbal, to be honest.
UPDATE: while the Verbal advice is still applicable, this book is super out of date about the regularity of the Maths topics in the new GRE.
