Book Reviews of The Everything College Survival Book; From Social Life to Study Skills-Everything You Need To Know To Fit Right In-Before You're a Senior!
Book Review: Trite and lacks substance - seek elsewhere !
Summary: 1 Stars
As a college freshman this fall, I looked around for some good books on advice and making my transition a bit more smoother than my high school enterance.
Unfortunately - this book miserably fails at it.
First off, the book comes off as an informercial for various products that the author cleverly hocks near the end of each chapter [hey - you need an organizer and go to this website and buy one for this low price !!] and I wondered if Kevin Trudeau was a ghostwriter for this book...
Also in 2005, it's technically obsolete. Most teenagers currently integrate technology into our lives via the internet, cell phones, instant messaging, and digital audio players. However, the book is still in 1999 with recommending a pentium II for the top of the line. The entire information on the computer/tech chapter is moot and don't bother reading it.
The other chapter mentions very common studying and time-management techniques and information that you already know or could find out if you simply asked your college admissions or guidance counselor/academic advisor.
For real advice, go up to some random students while you're touring at college and ask; or for literature, choose the recommendations that the 'fellow reader' described.
