## Description

desertcart.com: Word Power Made Easy: The Complete Handbook for Building a Superior Vocabulary: 9781101873854: Lewis, Norman: Books

Review: Superb, exceptional, and marvelous. - Especially since this March, I shop on desertcart vigorously. But I think this is my first time to write a review. This is the magnificent vocabulary book. I tried to increase my vocabulary so many times but everytime ended up giving up (I am from Japan). This one, I managed to finish a whole book and learn tremendously. I believe that is because the author explains well so that a word logically makes sense etymologically. If you are good at just memorizing random stuff, numbers or letters, then you probably would not need this book. You can study with an American vocab book (a quality is so shitty I was surprised) and succeed. But if you need a reason or logic for memorizing stuff, then this is the book you need. As some reviewers commented, I have to admit that some notions in this book are anachronistic, especially if you live in South California. Definitely, I can tell the author was in social science academia, so he was liberal enough and sophisticated at his time; yet, I can see some archaic notions he introduces. Though, it did not really bother me. This book is superb and exceptional, especially comparing to other American vocab books which are usually very poor quality.
Review: Word Power Made Easy - This is one of the best vocabulary building books I have ever read. I was introduced to this book when I was in 9th grade many many many years ago by my English teacher. I am not a good reader (I am in fact very slow) so my vocabulary has suffered. Not only do I find this book easy to read and interesting but within the first few chapters you will have greatly improved your understand of words and their roots. Once you start understand the roots of words your vocabulary expands exponentially. Since vocabulary is my weakest area academically this book had been fantastic in succeeding where all other have failed. I do not remember my High School English teacher's name but I am forever grateful that she introduced me to this book 43 years ago. My son has basically the same issues with English as I did but now this book will also be a great benefit for him. He is in 7th grade and we read this together each day. This book is worth is weight in gold. I actually think it is worth more as I cannot put price on expanding my Son's education and understand of the world. If only one person that reads this review finds this book useful. I cannot tell you how much joy something like brings me and more importantly hopefully to that person. Now here is my disclaimer! On the other hand if anyone finds this book was not useful and wasted their time, I apologize! Understand that this is my opinion only and I do understand that what I have found useful may not be to others so CAVEAT EMPTOR.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very effective but at times very challenging and difficult book
*by D***. on June 10, 2007*

As most other reviewers remarked, this book is probably the best and most efficient book to truely improve your vocabulary. The ideas and methologies in this book will benefit you for years to come. But be warned, this book is not for some leisurely reading, where you magically improve your vocabulary in a few weeks. I bought this book a couple of month ago and I'm just half way through, although I work on it almost every day. As the author mentions in the opening chapter, to really learn you have to have the desire to learn new things, new ideas, just like a child does. Only then will you be able to really improve. Only if you really have that desire will you be able to finish this book. One of the great things about this book, is that each keyword is first described by an 'idea' behind the word. Meaning, you first get a paragraph of some habit/characteristic/attribute and once you think, "yes, I know exactly what you mean", only then will he present you with a single new word, which expresses exactly what that entire paragraph described. The next sections then work with those new words and dissect them and show you where they come from (either Latin or Greek) and other words build on the same root. You also have to write down exercises to work with those new words. The author also encourages the reader to read aloud so you really familiarize yourself with those new words. The pronunciation guide is also surprisingly effective. If you're serious about building/improving your vocabulary, buy this book, you won't regret it. Absolutely worth 5 stars.
