Overview of the book:
Each section in this book starts with review of basic properties relating to figures followed by the application of more difficult concepts with questions. A limited number of topics are tested on GMAT and all the tested topics are covered in this book.
Total questions in the book = 84 (including 5 drill questions)
Pros:
1. Book covers all the topics tested on GMAT like Lines and Angles, Triangles, Quadrilaterals, Polygons, Circles, Volumes and other 3D figures, Coordinate Geometry and many more.
2. Almost all the problems are near to the real GMAT problems discussed in OGs. One must practice from this book if one is not confident after attempting OG problems.
3. Many problems discuss, tests more than one concept, which is the best thing to train your mind.
4. Solution to the problems with diagrams. One can easily understand complex problem with diagram.
5. Important facts and formulas are listed in the book and in case one forgets formula on the test methods to drive those formulas is also in the book.
Cons:
1. More emphasis is given on PS questions; there are very few DS question. I think, there should be more DS questions are many of the test takers fear DS.
2. Only one problem is discussed on one page, I think Veritas should think on how to save trees! Go Green!
2 Mistakes in the book:
There are 2 mistakes I noticed in the book; though both mistakes are printing mistakes I should mention those mistakes here.
1. In the “Lesson Solution” section (on page no. 119-120) figure explaining question no. 26 is given in the solution of question no. 27.
2. Point P is not mentioned in the answer of question no. 65 (page no. 133)
One formula worth mentioning here is,
Central Angle/360 = Area of Sector/Area of Circle
I think this formula should have be added to book as few questions are based on this formula. Though another formula for calculating the Length of Arc (Central Angle/360 = Length of Arc/Circumference) is given in the book, the above formula should also be added for easy reference.
Final note:
When 4-6 questions of GMAT are going to come from Geometry, who wants to take any chance? One must buy this book, if one is facing any problem with Geometry section. Ok, if you believe in marking the book? I will mark this book as 4.5/5 (-0.5 for wasting so many pages!)

YES. Don't kill the rain forests, Veritas. I will fly in, in my super-hero costume! Captainnnnnnnn Planet.
Just kidding, the organization makes it look less cluttered and more presentable, but the space can be saved.
But on a more serious note, I really like their organization too. I haven't flipped through this book yet, but I went through their CR book and I think it's quite comprehensive. Review soon
