What Are the Best Review Books for the Physics and General GRE?

In summary, a physics major in their 5th semester is seeking recommendations for a review book for the physics GRE. They also ask for other resources, such as online materials, and any recommendations for a general GRE review book. An old thread on a forum provides some recommendations and helpful discussion. One person suggests checking out a blog for materials on the general GRE. The conversation ends with another request for recommendations for a general GRE review book.

Hi (sorry if this has been brought up recently, but I don't see it and the search tool seems to dislike me at the moment).

I'm a physics major in my 5th semester, and the time has come to start seriously reviewing for the physics GRE. Which review book would you most recommend? Do you know of any other good resources (such as online, etc.)?

Recommendations for a general GRE review book would also be appreciated.

Thanks!
