May I say that this is an excellent book, and has totally changed the way I study.' - Nick Barrow, Law Student 'This book actually made the whole process of essay writing much more enjoyable, and actually much quicker. My essays now take much less time (from background reading to final draft), get better marks, and are more enjoyable to write - what more could any student want? The first essay I wrote after finishing this book got a 1st, and I have never got anything less than a 1st for any essay since.' - Amazon review 'I call this book an essential student purchase because it gives an excellent breakdown of the interpretation, the planning, the researching and the writing of an academic essay... Regardless of what course you do, this book does provide excellent instruction on how to structure your essay, write notes during seminars, research your topic, write with an academic style and how to write introductions/conclusions that won't send your tutor to sleep.' - Amazon review
