Delivered as expected.
Most of my GMAT taking friends recommended this book, so I hope it helps.

 Not the "Holy Grail: that everyone claims it to be
Apart from the brilliant name, there is nothing else in the book that's in the top leagues.
This book has a lot of errors in the verbal section (trust me, I know what I'm talking about; I had a V51). Some of the problems in the quant section are quite challenging though.
So overall, if you do need extra practice beyond the "Official Guide". I suggest you go for the Official Guide verbal and quant books rather than this one. Kaplan 800 is a waste of money, but can be of use for quant if you get it free.

 My favorite GMAT book
I love this book, very transparent and organized by topic sections. First, you have to answer three to four questions, and the solution with detailed explanation is just two pages ahead. I really like it, it's a lot easier to begin to study with, than for example official guide or Princeton review which I consider more as a drill where questions are not as neatly organized as here(it's more test like)...Hope this helps!

 good material
if you haven't started studying for the gmat this book isn't for you. you should start w/the kaplan 2007 gmat book then move to this after you're done with that. the explanations are pretty good in this book. my only gripe is that some of the same exact questions that appear in their course book for the class ( i actually took a class) so i was doing the ssame questions twice. i don't mind the review but now i'm wondering where i can get some difficult questions that i haven't had exposure to. i'm going to move onto the official guide gmat book next.

Just to Practice
I used this book to practice some more to the GMAT test. My especific problems for the GMAT test lies on the reading, vocabulary and structure of it, on spot that english is not my first language. The book improve my skills on it, and seems to satisfy the objectives above. I agree that the title is too optimist for the book (GMAT 800), but think of it as a complementary self-study course. To use the official guide is a must.
