Reviews
If I remember correctly, James Mooney has taught physics to boarding school kids in New England for 20 years, so there's no doubt that this book is as good as, possibly even better than, Princeton Review, which most people buy for AP Physics. There were two reasons why I chose to use this book although I owned PR as well.
This book is twice as thin as Princeton Review. Some may attribute PR's thickness to the fact that it contains materials for both B and C. However, the apparent thickness is important because it often determines whether one finishes a book.
Secondly, the pages were white. In other words, the book was not made from recycled paper(like PR). This feature had a cathartic effect on my studying. Had I chosen to stare at gray-looking pages for eleven hours on one particular Sunday I remember, I would have thrown it at the wall.
