Best Logical Reasoning Book?

Hi,

I'm planning to take the LSAT this June and am wondering what the best book for logical reasoning is. I recently discovered the forums and it seems like a lot of people like the Manhattan guide, however, I couldn't find any analysis of what the differences are and why some are better than others.

Can anyone please elaborate on which book is best and why?

Background: I have my friend's old Powerscore Logical Reasoning Bible. It's okay so far but there are a lot of instances where I feel things could be explained better. I'm about halfway through the book and wanted to see if there's a better option out there.

Thanks!

(sorry if there is a similar post elsewhere in the forum I tried searching but I couldn't find a specific thread related to logical reasoning books)

I went through Manhattan and got to -2/4 average per section with occasional -0s. That being said I'm going to purchase the trainer. I think the consensus on TLS is to get manhattan and trainer.

I started at like -7/8 per LR section. Drilling is most important tho

I've been using the Powerscore LR Bible for the past couple of months and I only have a couple chapters left to read. Though I have not looked through Manhattan or any other LR book, I will say that Powerscore has helped me quite a bit. The way they present the material is easy to comprehend.
