Not so great

I cannot give this book a super high recommendation.

I actually got 670 on my verbal for my GRE, but this book didn't give me much help.

Let me put it this way, in order to get really high grades in GRE verbal, you need a decent amount of advanced vocabulary. The list of words here is insufficient to give you a good score.

I believe that the only people who will benefit from this book are people who already has very good vocabulary and are looking for a quick review on more important words.

The ideal books are recommended in my listmania! for vocabulary building.

An Unusual Entertaining Family & Their Friends.

Our "golden years" are a time for reflection, keepsakes, memories of when life was good, as we wind down to becoming a senior citizen. This is a part of his series about the resilient family saga, the O'Malleys, following A MIDWINTER'S TALE (life in the '70s) and SECOND SPRING (the triump of steadfastness of the family in the '60s). Joe Moran graduated from Loyola Law School and invariably fell in the trap of falling in love with women from other cultures whose loyalty to their heritages would prove stronger than their affection for him.

Mr. Greely bases John M. Hayes (Father Jimmy) on John Raven, a man of gold and silver. Bride Mary O'Brian is a composite of a real person or persons as the wife of a high school friend of the O'Malleys. She and her young child disappear during the malaise of the '70s in Chicago.

He always incorporates sexual behavior of his characters in all of his novels. Shirley Eubank read all of his as they came out and told me how dirty they were to be written by a priest. He is a professor of the University of Chicago, alma mater of son Jeff, and continues to carry on a love affair with the Windy City. I loved it, too, the three times I was lucky enough to be there.

Nelson DeMille calls him "a master storyteller." In this book, he tries to show the readers how to make the best of their "Golden Years." Others in his reportorie include SEPTEMBER SONG, IRISH CREAM, EMERALD MAGIC, THE PRIESTLY SINS, and his autobiography, FURTHERMORE: CONFESSIONS OF A PARISH PRIEST. GOLDEN YEARS make a good read, as we attempt to enjoy life to its fullest in our golden years before time runs out.

Complete Waste of Money

If you are interested in a test prep guide that will tell you how to identify the physical symptoms of nervousness (yes, they include nausea) and which elaborates a bogus theory about how your score on seemingly any standardized test corresponds to your IQ, then this is the book for you. If, however, you are interested in purchasing a book that will help you prepare for the GRE Literature exam, this book is an enormous waste of money and time. Aside from some extremely basic terminology (such as "simile" and "metaphor") and a listing of about 20 authors with which you should be familiar before taking the exam, the book is almost entirely devoid of any substance about the exam (including, even, how many questions are on the exam, or how long the exam lasts). It's completely unfathomable that anyone is charging money for this, let alone nearly $40!

Helped me get 99%!

I ended up buying all the sets and just went through about 30 cards every morning while eating breakfast... Since I was a science major and hadn't read anything besides science text in four years, I had a lot of catching up to do... When I took the exam I came across MANY of the words I had learned from the cards. I got 99th percentile and I think the cards played a big part in that. GRE tends to pull words from the same pool of vocab- I'm not sure if just using one set of 750 cards would have made much of a difference, but if you can fine the time to plow through all 4 sets (which you can get for a discounted price if you order the next 3 together), you should be in good shape....

Advanced, but not always clear

I purchased Michelle Spence's (Cliff's) Miller Analogies Test Preparation Guide as well as Sternberg's (Barron's) How to Prepare for the MAT -- probably overkill -- but I studied both thoroughly and got a very high score. It was worth it! I have a hunch that Sternberg helped more in the middle score ranges and perhaps Spence in the higher more difficult analogies. Spence stretched my limits. She was more abstract, often leaving me unsatisfied that I understood or agreed with her logic. Sternberg offered clear and helpful details not only about the analogies, but also about every angle of preparing for the test. If I had to choose only one, I would buy Sternberg, but together they offered considerable strength. I think Spence probably added to my score at the top. When I finished the actual test, I felt I had not done as well as I had on the practice tests in either of the preparation books, but actually I had scored higher than nearly all my scores on the practice tests. I valued both of their insights.
