I've actually had a rather similar experience with most of the name brand GRE prep materials (ETS, Barron, Kaplan). The book has similar math and verbal, so that they're equally as useful. Personally, I loved the 500 word Kaplan Vocab GRE Flashcard book. I would suggest any of these brands for books, since they seem closer to the actual exam styles than other prep resources.

 

But, with a huge caveat, any book is only as useful as if you use it correctly. Create a study plan and stick to it. I know people who've used one book and excelled in the GRE, but a lot of people struggle learning/re-learning material this way. Add in a ton of practice tests. This will actually the best method for you to practice off of. You'll see a lot of useful resources here:
