30 Days...is pretty interesting. Some of the vocabulary has changed definitions over the years (for instance, chauvinistic no longer means obsessive love of your country. And I don't think schizophrenia has ever meant multiple personality disorder (now dissociative identity disorder); that's one of those Hollywood things). But it's pretty engaging for a book on vocabulary. ( )

Some of the words this book teaches have had changes in meaning since it was first published, some others are just dated in general. Regardless, I would say that at least 95% of the material is very useful. I used this book in high school and many of the words I learned from it are still part of my daily vocabulary. ( )
