5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic, readable and practical, 18 Mar 2008
By R. Cheema "judy maxwell" (uk) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This books goes through all the processes of writing an essay and to me is generalisable across a wide range of subjects. I am a postgraduate and had lost my academic edge. The book takes you through reading strategies and then through writing strategies and provides great tips and ways in which to gain the most from your reading and how to write a better essay...I will highly recommend this book to my fellow postgraduates and undergrads! It has helped me gain perspective and focus and regain my academic flair.

5.0 out of 5 stars So straightforward, 28 Feb 2006
By A Customer
A straightforward, no nonsense guide letting you know that you're really not imagining it and the whole essay thing is a nightmare but never fear, this book is here to save the day! Am really enjoying employing some of the techniques and it has helped me to assess the information that I want to include, a bit more thoughtfully.

5.0 out of 5 stars Academic speak buster!, 4 May 2006
By J. Barnes "jonathon" (London, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book starts on the premise that essays are hard to write and the world of the acedmic is frankly a bit freaky, clouded in long words and phrases only three other people on the planet understand. Step by step it takes you through writing, compliling your points, thoughts and conclusions. It is also very enjoyable and east to read, which is nice. If you have to write an essay, for whatever reason, and start, as I do, by thinking, ummmm. This will help.
