Fantastic book I would totally recommend it for those who are preparing themselves for the CPE Exam. In my case the experience I had with this book was great, I taught multiple differences and ways of using certain words that I wasn't aware of. For example, in my 20-something years as an English speaker and learner (as a Second Language), I never realized the difference between"Specially" and "Especially".
If you still don't know the difference, or maybe you do. I still recommend you at least check the index to see if something catches your attention
I do not hold the belief that this is a mandatory textbook if you wish to pass the C2 exam. However, if you ran out of materials and you still have lots of time before the exam, I would suggest picking it up. My favorite topic was on page 27 where the author dived into the difference between the British and American spelling. It made me understand better the nuances between them.
