Sooo Easy

This book is probably the easiest most organized vocabulary building book ever. I bought this book looking to improve my vocabulary for business school. I found much more. This book organized words into groups that are funny. Some Word Groups: -Scary Things(anathema, specter, juggernaut, apocalypse) -Don't Yell at Me(diatribe, invective, vituperation, admonish) -Have Mercy(clemency, exonerate, absolve) The word groups help remembering the words very easy. It is an outrageous, witty, humorous guide to building vocabulary.
