OK but a bit superficial
Now don't get me wrong, what this book does say is good - I just don't think it goes into enough depth (for my needs anyway). I finished the book feeling like they had just given me a half hour lecture on the basics when what I needed was a week's study.
Loved it and wish I'd bought it months ago
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!
Clear, helpful advice
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.
