EZ Solutions' GMAT book reviews on Amazon seem scripted

by theK » Thu May 07, 2009 4:02 am
Anybody else thinks the positive reviews of the EZ solutions' books are kind of scripted?

The following 'different' users give the same lengthy positive feedback for ALL EZ solutions' books, with no negatives at all:
Jenny
Monika Mahor "(GMAT/GRE instructor/tutor)"
Lalana
B. Trigger
Oleksiy Lytvyn "GMAT fighter"
Rochelle Smith "Rosy"

Surely there must be some of their books that are better than the others. There may be something fishy going on.

When I look at these user's reviews for non-EZ books, they always recommend the EZ books.

Are they really that good?

I feel the same way about the reviews. I was very tempted to buy one of the EZ Solutions books but after feeling like the reviews were phony I decided not to because I've spent so much money preparing for this test that I can't afford to waste it on a product based on false reviews posted by the publisher.

Good luck with you test prep.

p.s. Don't be surprised if you get a positive response about the product on here from people that only post in forums about EZ Solutions books.

Well I did get a chance to have a look at these books.
If you are looking for Concepts, then yes these books are good...BUT ONLY FOR CONCEPTS..which you can get from any high school maths book....
Very Expensive ... they will cost you $220+...
No mention of DS in any of their books except one...their strategies guide...
I was extremely disappointed to see these books...I would say don;t waste ur money on these books IF YOU HAVE NOT SLEPT IN CLASSES IN YOUR HIGH SCHOOL....
GMAT is all about tricks and tips....and keeping this in mind... I think lot of work is required for the writers of these books

Thanks for the feedback!
I thought I was the only one seeing things.

I decided to go with the Manhattan Strategy Guides (3rd edition). They are really good! *Back to the guides*

I'm new to the community and was doing some research on what GMAT books to get when i came across this thread. I thought something was fishy about the reviews too and believe that they are scripted. They probably look alike because they were modified or the buyers were asked to write it a certain way. An acquaintance of mine has purchased their books before and they asked him what he was going to write and gave suggestions on how it could be modified. They offered him a discount in exchange for a positive review. I don't know if all the reviews are written that way but that was based on his personal experience. I was considering on using either their math series or mahattan preps'. I tried to look up actual reviews of the books that talked about the pros and cons but haven't had any luck. Personally I don't have much faith in books that need other people to create positive reviews for.
