Summary: Pretty good basic info
Comment: I used this book to study for the LSAT and would recommend it for the person who has never taken the LSAT nor has much idea what they're getting into. Good basic information in terms of explaining how the test is laid out and what to expect the actual day of the test. Good explanations, specifically in terms of the arguments section and how to prepare for the different types of questions you're going to be asked. The two tests in the back are helpful (I had the copy without the CD-Rom, so can't attest to it's validity) and I appreciated the explanations to their examples (especially in terms of the analytical games section...

Summary: The last think I want is brevity...
Comment: I have never adapted to PR's approach to standardized exams -- they rely on brevity and anecdotes rather than objective and detailed explanations and strategies to the LSAT, and that's the last thing I wanted in preparing for my entrance to law school. The practice exams are effective, but they aren't real LSAT questions (like Barron's and Kaplan's) -- there's no subsitute for the real thing! Besides, I don't even like their brittle pages!
Princeton Review is more like a "pocketbook" approach to the exam. The book is written in a way that best fits a cram studier a week or less away from test day. Answers to practice questions are not always balanced (for ex., they may do well to support the right answer but not considerate in refuting wrong ones). The lack of consistency, "simulated" practice exams rather than the real thing, and the oft-cheesy attempt to humor me while studying are all reasons I trash this volume. I'll admit PR is an acquired taste, but unfortunately, I never had the tongue for it.

Summary: Don't waste your time
Comment: This is the first book I bought and I wish I'd made a different choice.
Although the writers of the book try hard to be clever, their tone is patronizing. The technique sections are superficial and are not followed up by practice sections. This makes for a very dull and tedious read.
However, the CD-ROM has four practice tests that you can grade and review (although some seemed easier than real tests) so okay for instant gratification.
