Summary: Be realistic
Comment: obviously not everyone who reads this book will get a 45. That said, this was the only book i used.
No one book will get you a 45. to get a "45" you need to be in the 37-45 range knowledge-wise and get really lucky on test day. This book is good (and i'd reccomend it to everyone) for teaching you NOT to freak when you get hit with a nasty passage and for teaching you how to think when background knowledge can't help you out. I know that in my free mcat test prep program, i will encourage all of my students to get and work through this book- you just need to be very clear that this is not what the MCAT will consist of, and that after suffering through this book, the real test will be that much easier.
To be honest this book is EXACTLY what is says it is. It's brutal and it will help you a lot if you're in the top group of test takers and a marginal amount if you're not. I ended up with a 15PS 15BS and 13VR for a 43S. Did this book get me that score? heck no. did it help somewhat? yeah. spend the 20 bucks here and ditch the worthless 1500 dollar prep course (i never took any form of paid-prep). if you enroll in rough classes and review your textbooks, you can do as well if not better; just be realistic.

Summary: Not Relevant
Comment: Having just taken the MCAT I would definately reccomend that you dont use this book. The material it covers just is not applicable to the MCAT. The book definitely has difficult questions but I didnt see a single question like this on the MCAT. Your time is better spent taking real practice exams instead of working on these problems. If you do buy the book dont be discouraged if you have trouble with the problems because this is NOT an accurate reflection of the real MCAT.

Summary: if you've got nothing but time
Comment: the exuberant review is probably a product of the writer's own elation at his/her score. this book is merely another in the long list of practices you can trudge through on your way to mcat perfection. taking the test in both april & august of 2002, i found the MCAT45 passages completely irreverent of typical aamc style--not neccessarily a bad literary decision, but not a true indicator of the mcat. some questions may border on the convoluted/esoteric side. however, they are managable if you have a good grasp of all your review material. i found them comparable to the princeton review practice tests A-D. conclusion: buy this if you have finished all your review material & want to keep working, if only to keep you in the habit.
