Media Reviews
'I discovered your book whilst browsing in a bookshop towards the end of my dissertation. For the first time in my academic life I discovered what was actually required of a student to get good grades...The long and the short of it is that I am writing to thank you SO VERY MUCH for this excellent book. It has completely changed my approach to serious reading and I am spreading the news to all my friends and family.' - Helen C Ameen, Linguistics student, Leicester University'There is nothing pretentious, nothing patronising, nothing dogmatic, over-assertive or self-regarding about this book. Its main concern being to guide students into sensible ways of working, reading and writing...Without this book, I would have had an impossible time trying to tune into what is required by way of an essay.' - Christopher Perkins, Mature Student in English Literature, Birkbeck College'Just to let you know that my essay was extremely well received, and I wanted to thank you [Bryan Greetham] for writing this book that allowed me to write my best essay yet. ' - Alex Strick van Linschoten, Student
