5.0 out of 5 stars This is a no-faff book that gives it to you straight, 24 Aug 2004
This review is from: One Step Ahead: Essays and Dissertations (Paperback)
The only essay-writing advice book I've ever come across that actually helps! Mounsey practices what he preaches - tells you what to do and why it works to do it that way, gives examples, and doesn't waffle. It's concise, readable, nicely presented, well-designed, properly-bound, and fits in your bag so you can read it on the bus. Wish I had found this book before I bought the 3 other ones that were no use at all. Highly recommended (in case you hadn't guessed already).

5.0 out of 5 stars Clear, helpful advice, 15 Feb 2006
This review is from: One Step Ahead: Essays and Dissertations (Paperback)
I have a number of books about writing essays and dissertations, but this one stands out as one of the best. If, like me, you panic at the sign of essays, this will help break it down into managable parts, giving clear advice about how to write, structure and develop an essay.

This review is from: One Step Ahead: Essays and Dissertations (Paperback)
What a pleasant surprise. An easy to read no nonsense book that takes you step by step through writing assignments. I always struggled with shorter assignments, but this book tells you how to lay they them out and what to put in them including how many quotes and where to find them ~ fab!
