The Gold Standard for the average GRE test taker. If you are aiming for a score below the 90% percentile, this is a fantastic book. Particularly the test taking strategy that focuses on the test itself, rather than the knowledge that is tested.
If you are looking to score above 90%, you have to disregard many of the Princeton Reviews suggested techniques. But then again, if you are shooting for above 90%, you should read it anyway because many of the techniques you should not disregard.
No 5 star because there are not enough practice tests to make me happy.

Exactly what I wanted. This book give great instruction on how the GRE test is going to be like and how to handle the questions that will be on the test.

I never thought I would be taking the GRE, so when I made the decision to attend grad school, I knew I needed to see what the GRE was all about. Everyone I knew stated that taking a prep class is the best bet, I simply didn't want to spend the money, nor spend the time. After reading and comparing reviews of this book and others, I made the decision to purchase this; and I'm glad I did.
The book does tell you how the test is presented, how it is written, etc. There was information in there that I knew, and more that I didn't know. It offered a reasonable explanation of the different sections of the exam, which I found quite helpful and comprehensible. For me, I feel that it has adequately prepared me for the exam.
Additionally, after I purchased the book, a friend of mine who took a prep course reviewed the contents and found it very similar to the class she took. The book obviously offers more condensed information, but the same, nonetheless.

Any review material will help - the more practice you get the better! - and this book is quite useful in its test-taking strategies, but test takers should be aware that the test will drastically change in 2011 - calculators will be allowed, no more geometry, quantitative problems will be largely in word problem format, and more. So, bottom line: this and all other review books, after this year, will become obsolete! Unless you're taking the test pretty soon, don't waste your money.

I had gone through the Kaplan book first. I am glad that I did. This book reinforces some of the items in Kapalan but is light on the "tips and tricks" that Kaplan uses. 'Cracking the GRE' also does not have explanations to all their questions/answer sections. They only explain the answers to their practice problems.
I did find the online test and questions useful - again wrong answers did not have an explanation.
Overall, buy this book, but don't let this book be your only source of study materials.
