Best of the GMAT review options

I went through this book, the Kaplan book, and the Princeton Review. This is by far the best of the 3. It has the most review questions and doesn't try to teach you any garbage strategies, just how to do the questions. The one shortfall is that the answer explanations are sometimes not in depth enough.

First copy was filled with typos...

The first copy I got of this book had a lot of typos in it. For example, one of the values in a math problem read "28" instead of "2^8".

There was another math example where they printed "=" instead of "-", which made the explanation incoherent.

I was feed up when they misprinted the Pythagorean Theorem: a2 + b^2 = c^2 instead of a^2 + b^2 = c^2.

I thought to myself, if I'm catching all these typos, I wonder which ones am I missing. Luckily, I was able to exchange my copy for a typo free copy. There were 6 copies of this book on the shelf at my local Barnes & Nobles, 5 of them contained typos like my first copy. So beware...

Good for biginners

I just want to give some advice before you buy the book.
First, The problems are way too easy compared to Kaplan. I bought Kaplan Before buying this review, and the problems overall are way harder in Kaplan.

Second, If you don't know what the GMAT is all about, I highly recommend the Official Guide. After you finish this book go on an do Kaplan, and I will guarantee you a good score in your GMAT.
