How to Write an A+ Essay: A Step-by-Step Guide to Acing Your Next Assignment
THE STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE TO HACKING YOUR NEXT ESSAY ASSIGNMENT.
I'm going to make a confession. I was a straight-A student in high school. I graduated summa cum laude from college. My senior thesis won the institution’s coveted essay-writing prize. Not thanks to raw brilliance, or dazzling talent.
No, I knew how to write essays. You see, great essays aren’t necessarily written by the “best and brightest.” They're written by students who know the rules—from concept to thesis statement, from outline to final draft. Students who know how to get the best possible grade for the least amount of work.
I’ll show you how you can, too.
IT'S EASIER THAN YOU MIGHT THINK.
My name is Jenny Sawyer. Over the past five years, I’ve been the girl behind 60second Recap®. I've invested thousands of hours helping teens understand classic literature. I’ve answered countless emails seeking help with essay assignments. I’ve guided individual students, one-on-one, through the process of crafting thesis statements and writing essays, testing and refining the techniques I used when I was in school. Strategies I employed to nail essay after essay.
Most people think A+ essays require hours of hard work. Or genius. I’d always had a hunch they’d thought wrong. Now, I'm certain of

Check mate!
Pros: I am a doctoral student that wanted to brush up on my skills. Little did I know I would learn so much more from this book. It is easy to navigate and the checklists will keep you on track. I'm glad to have purchased this book and will refer to it often. I absolutely love the court scenarios because I can relate wholeheartedly due to being a super fan and in a criminal justice program of study.
Cons: The stories were hard to relate to. The author assumed everyone has read the stories and used them heavily as examples. Unfortunately, I have to go back and read these stories so I can get the gist of what the author is referring to. Overall, still a great book.

This book is to-the-point, and gives good analogies and information. It was a short read, and didn't need to be much longer.
Unfortunately, it did not tell me how to handle my thesis statement when I'm required to write about multiple things.
It's a good book, despite that.
