我正在看【红宝书】考研英语词汇（必考词+基础词+超纲词）感觉很不错：
 
1、红宝书最精华的就是精缩版的小册子！一个单元的内容至少七八十个单词，在大书中有例句、有真题、规划的很细，一个单元很多页，看时间久了可能会觉得没完没了的很枯燥。但是小册子中一个单元只有一篇半，一眼看过去就觉得很轻松，任务不是很繁重的样子。我是把大书看过一遍之后，一直用的小册子背单词。七月之前差不多能背过三、四遍了。
 
2、词汇的释义很全。对比了几本书发现很多词汇书中文释义不全面，特别是网上下载的词汇表。考研考的就是熟词僻义，中文意思不全还怎么背啊？怎么考啊？譬如zero：一般的词汇表上翻译的基本上只有：零；零度。但是红宝书上还有“将注意力集中于某人或某事”的含义。
 
3、颜色的划分。红宝书的所有书的特点都是这样吧。不同的地方用不同的颜色。感觉有条理。
目前买了考研资料有七八本了，这本是最不后悔的了。真是实践才是检验真理的唯一标准！呵呵。
本词汇书是用过觉得最好的词汇书！可能是我基础不好吧~觉得很适合基础不好
的同学~
在网上查了很多词汇资料，各种词汇书都试用了几天，最后还是觉得红宝书比较适合我！
本人英语基础很差，再加上背单词很枯燥，用5天红宝书，一天一个单元，
目前还能背进去，已经背会的也没有很轻易地就忘记，对我来说，真是非常不错了！
