This is a great flick through book. You don’t have to read it cover to cover, you can simply just pick out what you need and when. It was well written, clearly explained and easy to understand.
I bought it for university and it has been used by myself and borrowed by my cohorts many times.

Format: Paperback
The book is a real little “pocket-rocket” – the summary on the website was “too good to be true” Once i received the book it lived up to the expectation it created. Don’t start your studies without this book. True value for money.
5.0 out of 5 stars A very useful tool.
By Jo Wilson
Format: Paperback
This is a handy reference for those with no or little experience of formal essay writing. It demonstrates the correct way to plan, research, draft and finally write your essay, giving additional pointers regarding correct use of grammar and syntax, and the importance of thorough proof-reading before final submission.
Easy to understand, with examples given to demonstrate the content more fully.
Well worth getting a hold of if you’re facing the horror of essay time at school, college or university!
By S Smyth
This is an excellent book about the subject of writing academic essays. It is concise, clearly written and contains many examples of the good, the bad and the indifferent. It is useful for those who have not had to write such an essay for many years. It will be especially useful for those who need to rapidly get up to speed with the demands of a formal academic essay. Either due to the lines of study that did not need a particularly formal essay, that is suddenly now the new normal. Or who have come from a less rigorous academic background, and suddenly find themselves at a loss as to why their assignment scores are so poor, from a tutor who, not unreasonably, expects that they know how to write a formal academic essay already.
Mention is made of meeting the peculiarities of a tutor’s expectations. This may be a minefield if the student has a number of tutors’ peculiarities to accommodate. Directly and/or via external examiners. I would argue that if the essay is soundly composed, the student is in a strong position from where to defend their position.
Such is not an issue in France, where the student at Sciences Po, for example, has a strict essay/dissertation format to adhere to, and woe betide the student who fails to comply.
