4.0 out of 5 stars Practical guide, 6 Jan 2010
By M. Jones - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Gap Years - The Essential Guide (Need2know) (Paperback)
I bought this book for my daughter for Christmas as she is planning to take a gap year after school. This isn't one of those 'sit and daydream about where I could go' books but is a practical guide. I agree that it is maybe not as comprehensive as some of the others but as far as I can see they are taken up with a lot of listings that she can just find on the internet. It's hard enough to get a young person to read any book let alone a massive guidebook, so this one works well!

5.0 out of 5 stars Good book to get started, 3 Jan 2010
This review is from: Gap Years - The Essential Guide (Need2know) (Paperback)
I didn't really know how to start planning my gap year so was looking for a book that set out the basics. I liked this one because it wasn't overwhelming like some of the others. I read it quite quickly and found it easy to understand with some good advice. I now feel much calmer and excited about planning my trip.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good, trustworthy book, 26 May 2010
This review is from: Gap Years - The Essential Guide (Need2know) (Paperback)
I really liked this book. I'm not really sure what some of the other reviewers are going on about. I thought it was a really easy and interesting book that gives some good advice. Of course you can find lots of information on the internet but I never know if you can trust it whereas I felt like the author of this book knew her stuff.

2.0 out of 5 stars Don't Bother
I found this book to be a complete waste of time and effort. I borrowed it after a friend recommended it when I considered taking a career break, but it was truly diabolical! Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars Truly awful
This is a truly awful book. Overpriced for what it is and providing no useful information that can not be obtained from other more comprehensive books.
Published 8 months ago by Act Swaffer

5.0 out of 5 stars Informative and Helpful!
There are a number of gap year advice books, but I particularly like this one because it's helpful and informative, presenting information in a really efficient way. Read more
