Meh July 7, 2008
This book isn't bad, but it is not what it claims to be or should be. There is some tough stuff in here, but not absurdly tough. You also aren't going to learn anything new in terms of stratergies or other test insights. Even the explainations are weak. In short, the book is fine for practice but it is not going to be the thing that pushes you from a 165-177.
Only if you've run out of other prep material June 3, 2008

This book is supposed to contain the most difficult questions to prepare a LSAT taker for the toughest LSAT questions.
Logic Games - The 20 logic games in the book are difficult, but aren't really like real games you are likely to encounter on test day, especially in the current LSAT era. There are some other books with good practice games. The games included in the book are rather clunky, confusing you weird rules and game types rather than challenging you to make key inferences. The games are ok if you just want a mental workout, but I'm not convinced it's good LSAT prep.
Logical Reasoning - The LR questions included in the book are actually not that hard. I've encountered much more difficult questions on actual preptests. The questions here I'd say are similar to the medium difficulty LSAT questions. If you are getting 2-3 wrong on LR sections, the questions in this book will be a piece of cake for you.
Reading Comprehension - The 12 passages are not really like what you will encounter on an LSAT. LSAT passages have a particular structure to them in terms of argumentation style and flow. But if you just want some hard to read passages just to get your brain used to reading, then doing these passages is not worse than reading the Economist, which is what most people who want extra practice at RC recommend.
Overall, I'd say that if you've exhausted all of your other preptests and still want some work to do, go ahead. But I didn't find these questions that representative nor did it really prepare me for getting a top percentile score.
