5.0 out of 5 stars The best of the bunch - by far, 31 May 2002
By A Customer
I'm a third-year student of English at the University of Leeds. I bought this book at the beginning of the year, and I haven't looked back since. Not only is this the funniest book of its kind; it is absolutely stunningly good. I've checked out ALL the others, and if you want to save yourself some time, get this one. Richard Marggraf Turley must be some kind of god - he knows EXACTLY what tutors want to see in an essay, and tells you EXACTLY how do do it. Like the other reviewers here, my grades went up by a whole class since I got this book - and I've earned two firsts so far this semester.

5.0 out of 5 stars RMT Rocks!, 5 Jul 2002
By A Customer
I study History and English joint honours at UCL, and was struggling with essay assignments. Until I bought this book. In a word, RMT rocks! His guide is funny, to the point, and very, very, cool. I would never have thought learning to write essays could be fun - but this book proved me wrong. I've lent it to all my friends too (sorry, RMT!). But I can recommend buying this - all the other reviewers here are right: this is the best book of its kind. My essays went up from 3rd/low 2.ii to mid-high 2.1. Can't say more than that, really.

5.0 out of 5 stars this book is the best!, 31 Dec 2001
I heard about this book from a friend. Apparently lots of people are using it now. I don't usually use study guides - and I never write reviews on the internet - but this one was different. All the things I'd struggled with before were explained in plain terms - things like linking expressions and structure. I was so impressed by the way the author sets everything out in a logical and easy to understand way. This book really is the best. I can honestly say that I got better marks for my last two essays because I used it. Richard Marggraf Turley seems to know just what my tutors wanted to see.
