Bought for my husband who was at university for nursing and struggling with his essay writing. I can’t say the book didn’t do the job, bit he just didn’t use it and didn’t really see any benefit from it. That doesn’t mean it has anything wrong just didn’t seem to engage him enough for him to make decent use out of it. The book itself is thick and seemed to me like it was exactly as offered.

Having been trying and failing to get to grips with essay writing I turned to this book. What an excellent book this is. Everything is explained in easy terms, no detail of the essay-writing process has been left to chance. How I wish I had bought this before I started Open University instead of part way through my courses. I would consider this book to be essential for anyone having trouble with essays, it has certainly improved my writing.
