After surveying many books to purchase in preparation for college, I bought this book. I would not recommend this book for the following reasons: continuous sarcasm creates constant confusion, regular sexual innuendos get old fast, irrelevant page-fillers line book, but leave for an empty mind, and grammar and writing are much lower quality than expected of a Harvard graduate. The only suggestions, which I actually thought were helpful and relevant, of which there were some, were all too obvious and things I learned my freshman year in high school. Overall, I would not suggest a student, or anyone, buy this book, I regret that I did.
