Hi RiyaR,
I'm not a fan of the Barron's Books, but you might find other people who have had positive reactions.
The reviews at Amazon should be able to offer some perspective:

If you're looking to do LOTS of practice problems, then there are plenty of other sources you can use. Keep in mind that the Quality of the material you use and Quality of the work that you do cannot be substituted with Quantity.
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,

There is actually a newer version of the Barron's out there that is better than the version Rich linked you to.

I would still recommend multi-volume GMAT study materials (or computerized materials) rather than a single book, but Barron's did get some quality instructors to rewrite what was a very bad book. I remember looking at the book back in 2009 or 2010 and it needed some real work. Give them credit for improving!
