Title: Useless and insulting
Review: Do not buy this book.It's advice is useless at best, insulting at worst. It is full of idiotic phrases such as "use your creativity to..." that are too abstract to be actually helpful. It relies on jargon and a casual tone, which good writing books eschew. The only concrete advice it gives is so obvious as to be disconcerting. What graduate school applicant wouldn't already know not to misspell the name of the university? What kind of mutant would find this book helpful?Only the collection of actual essays and responses from admissions boards at the end of the book made me not wholly regret spending $4 (including shipping) on this waste of trees. Still, I wish I had my $4 back, along with my belief that the pool of graduate school applicants weren't foolish egotists with no social skills, self-awareness, or basic understanding of the expectations the professional world has for them.
