About The Book: English Bites!: My Fullproof English Learning Formula, published in 2012, has been designed to help readers overcome language barriers, and to learn fluent English.

The author promises that readers of English Bites!: My Fullproof English Learning Formula will be able to inculcate more than a thousand new words in their vocabulary through easy and effective techniques. The differences between similar sounding words are also explained, in addition to descriptions about when and where to use them. Delightful incidences have been incorporated to showcase how terms can have different meanings in different situations. Furthermore, meanings of new words are mentioned at the footer of each page. In addition to this, English Bites!: My Fullproof English Learning Formula also contains trivia which ranges from B-school jargon to origin of words to brand names, and more. This guidebook is not a traditional self-help book. Jokes, anecdotes, and funny illustrations keep the reader’s interest in place, and makes learning fun.
This book can be used by candidates of CAT/GRE/XAT/GMAT, those who wish to develop a better command over English, and any language enthusiast. English Bites!: My Fullproof English Learning Formula, the author’s debut work, is the perfect guide to improve one’s verbal abilities.
Review: I as a reader happy to read English Bites! By Manish Gupta. It’s always good to learn new words. As a reviewer you should have a good command on English Vocabulary so this book really helped me to learn new words. The cover of the book is really funny but it generates interest to read the book. The title and Blurb are apt for the readers. It clearly mentions that this book is for the beginners as well as for the people who want to learn English and increase their vocabulary knowledge. This book is also good for all those who want to give Entrance exams for the professional courses like Gmat/ Cat and other courses. There is no story in the book. It’s a pure narration and good command on English. The Author had worked really hard on all the facts and words related to English. It’s really commendable. There are lots of new words and their usage and meaning which is written by Author’s own experience. I as a reader enjoyed reading it. There are incidents from Author’s old days which are funny but really helped us to know the insight of the English language.
Overall it is a book for all the readers. It is not a dictionary but a simple guide to learn new words with the real life experiences. A must read book. Good luck Author for a wonderful and meaningful book.
