Advantages: Simple and easy to read

Disadvantages: None

The Good Essay Writing by Peter Redman is a must have for anyone studying within the Social Sciences. I bought this book as the course i'm doing recommended it and as i hadnt studied for roughly 15 years i was going to accept all the help i can get. I bought my copy for £11.99 from Play.com and was very happy with my purchase.

The book is written by Peter Redman who teaches Social Science at the Open University. So the book has been written with Open University students in mind.

It has the answer to all questions student come across when preparing to write an essay. The contents are broken down into 11 sections:

1. Introduction on how to use the guide
2. What tutors look for when marking essays
3. What is a social science essays
4. Matching the answer to the questions
5. Stages of writing from preparation to final version
6. Writing introductions
7. Writing the main section
8. Writing conclusions
9. Referencing
10. Some common worries
11. Examples of student essays

This book is ideal and i often pick it up an refer to it when i have an essay to write. It has 121 pages, is really easy to read and has plenty of tips. It helps to improve essay writing skills and acheive better grades.
Most of my fellow students also own this book and they find it really helpful too. I would definitely recommend this book especially if like me its been a while since you last had to write an essay.

Summary: Excellent guide for Social Science students

Well-presented, but I have to agree with the preceding comment.

You didn't really talk about HOW the book is useful and the detail of what you do/not like. Most of this simply described the text.
