If you have Barron Toefl Preparation book, you should never buy this one.. Its reading parts same as preparation book, they just called same book in "a different name"..
One of the best, but not THE BEST.

This book along with a CD is a very good source for those who want to practice for TOEFL in about 2 months(minimum). I used it but I have not taken the test yet. The disadvantage of this book is that it contains mostly the Academic texts. All Readings and Listening part are related to academic topics. In that order, may be Longman's is a better choice because or variety in text topics (not limited to academic). It contains 7 modeled tests which are very helpful and will significantly increase your skills and self confidence. The book is not elementary, therefore if you are looking for a elementary book with step by step explanation and many examples, you better start with Longman's. This book is for someone who is ready for the test and just need a fine tuning, though have at least 2 months ahead!
I got a great score!

I took the test in March. With the help of this book my score was 106!! In my opinion it is the best preparatory option, because it contains high level tests which indeed will prepare you. If you want to get a good score I would also recommend you to buy the official book.
Great book!!!

This book has been most helpful for me. It has the most difficult readings and listening of all books I used. I also used OG for TOEFL and Longman. Speaking and writing parts are also very difficult and very helpful. With this book and other two I was prepared in just 15 days. My score was 101.
A must have

This is a great book if you want to take TOEFL, but more importantly it is great to bring your everyday conversation to a higher level. I highly recommend it.
