Is reading the red book actually useful?

I found Barron’s ACT 36 the most useful out of any test prep books I’ve ever used. Cracking was alright, and the red book’s tips were alright as well. I would read through the red book to introduce yourself to the strategies, Cracking for more strategy prep, and Barron’s to round everything out. If you don’t have time, skip Cracking and go straight to Barron’s 36. And, of course, the practice exams :)
