User reviews
I rated it low because it is hard to say you really liked a book that is nothing you've never heard before. However, the writing style is very easy to absorb and all of the information is there. You're not going to love this book (all it does is make you think of all the work you are going to have to do - he has tips to study smarter, but even efficient work is still work) but it is very clear about techniques you could try.
The best piece of advice (for me) was how Fry said that if you didn't understand the book, it can mean that you just don't understand that book: textbooks are not always written in the most understandable formats or language. He suggests getting supplementary material before you give up on a subject. I actually just ordered a supplementary book off of Chapters after reading a preview.
