Much as my review of Vocabulary from Classical Roots - A, I really don't think this book has enough practice for the vocabulary words. Although the words themselves are good and should be learned, along with the roots they come from, they don't structure the book in a helpful way. Essentially, they expect you to memorize all the vocab and memorize the roots and then do three short exercises to make sure you know how the words are used in context. While there's nothing wrong with that, it could be much more helpful if there were more exercises to cement the words in your head using more natural methods than just straight-up memorizing.
