Don't read this book after a meal, especially not when you are feeling very full. Its pretty sickening but in a good way. Really America is the land of eccentrics, but I mean that in a good way!
Picked this up when I was trying to find painless ways to study for the SATs a couple of years ago. For what it is (a book that tries to layer a plot over a set of vocabulary words), it might be helpful to someone with a limited vocabulary.

Head Over Heels by Spark Notes is a book that is supposed to help you prepare for the SAT's. At the bottom of every page it has the definition of the SAT words on the page which are in bold.

My vocabulary did not sufficiently improve from reading either books.
