Recenzii

One of the aspects of this book, besides the content, that makes it so captivating is simply the writing style. The book is written so that reading it is easy, the ideas digestible. In the chapter on how to write, Brown shares his secret to writing so engagingly ... What I took away from reading this book, though, was just how universal the experiences of graduate students are. From wallowing in feelings of inadequacy to the exhilarating sensation of figuring out something that nobody has ever figured out before, Brown captures the essence of what most graduate students experience. He arms grad students (and potential grad students!) with information that will make their journey a bit easier, regardless of what field they're in.
