Product Description

George Kennedy's three volumes on classical rhetoric have long been regarded as authoritative treatments of the subject. This new volume, an extensive revision and abridgment of The Art of Persuasion in Greece, The Art of Rhetoric in the Roman World, and Greek Rhetoric under Christian Emperors, provides a comprehensive history of classical rhetoric, one that is sure to become a standard for its time.

Kennedy begins by identifying the rhetorical features of early Greek literature that anticipated the formulation of "metarhetoric," or a theory of rhetoric, in the fifth and fourth centuries b.c.e. and then traces the development of that theory through the Greco-Roman period. He gives an account of the teaching of literary and oral composition in schools, and of Greek and Latin oratory as the primary rhetorical genre. He also discusses the overlapping disciplines of ancient philosophy and religion and their interaction with rhetoric. The result is a broad and engaging history of classical rhetoric that will prove especially useful for students and for others who want an overview of classical rhetoric in condensed form.

Outdated and of limited use

Although the book can serve as a source of additional practice tests, its usefulness is highly questionable. The author is a former Princeton Review instructor who has failed to even keep himself updated. For example, the author advises the reader (test taker) to look at the questions before reading the text. Even worse, he suggests that "general" questions should be answered later, as if this was an option. Additionally, the concept of "Tom" is just the "Joe Bloggs" of the Princeton Review. Based on my experience, this concept is of little use for anyone other than the bottom 30 percentile. Additionally, the Vocabulary section is highly limited. On the plus side, the Math review despite its errors has a clearer layout.

Overall, in terms of strategy, clarity, and the number of practice questions, Barron's, Kaplan's, and Princeton Review's guides all surpass the Acing the GRE.

Its okay if you don't need much help

This book is okay if you're already relatively good with the concepts the LSAT has you do. The software has a couple bugs in it--only a couple. I found I needed a more comprehensive review and ended up going to a real class.

Here comes the test

I like the book. It's written clearly and it wasn't too expensive. It has several samplings of test, whole tests, in the back. Furthermore, it provides examples of everything. I'd say more, but I need to take the test before I can say candidly how well the book prepared me.

Not Impressed

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.

The words are given in bold (example, the words belabor and buttress below). The meaning is given after the equal sign (=) following a word. The words are not necessarily in alphabetical order.

We have used the US spellings. The British spelling of a word, when different from the US spelling, is given in bracket after BRITISH as shown for the word belabor below.
USE gives a sentence fragment carefully chosen for memory. When no sentence fragment is given, a * is shown as in the word buttress below.

belabor (BRITISH = belabour) = to assail verbally, to insist repeatedly or harp on
USE = belabor a point
buttress = support
USE = *
