Amazon reviews for the 2nd edition: Best book ever. Bought this for a friend because, even though I finished my masters over a year ago, I'm not parting with mine. This book got me my first. I bought the book, stuck to the steps... and my dissertation scored among the top five in class! This book helped me so much, you have no idea. Every time I was lost — the book knew what to do. Loved it and I'm giving it 5 stars. It honestly kept me from going insane during that difficult time. Saved me. Fantastic book full of extremely useful things, really easy to read yet very detailed, love the collection of useful verbs! It's my dissertation bible! What should I put in my introduction?
