OUR REVIEW
We reviewed this book by analysing the pros and cons of the book:
Pros: -
- Good and Authentic Content: It is a very mammoth task to cover the vast syllabus of UPSC Prelims in one single book, and this book performs that task.
- Act as Revision tool as it covers the theory portion in Gist format.
- Practice Questions enhances the book's content.
- Visualizations are too good as it includes figures, tables, flow charts, important diagrams and mind maps.
Cons:-
- Absence of some crucial and important topics.
- Practice Material which present in the book is not so enough for the preparation of Prelims.
- Binding Quality is very poor.
- Congested Text so it takes longer time for understanding topic.
- Has a lot of printing mistakes i.e. wrong spellings.
We recommend you to buy this book only if you want to buy this as a revision material if you think that this can clear all your concepts and looking for it as a complete preparation material then it will not prove effective for you. However, if you have already your concepts cleared from some standard books then this book is very good to checkout for revision purpose.
