A Few Comments

Brown's work is meant to cover the basics, not to be in-depth on any one topic. He does this admirably within the limitations of the genre. Having read both the pre-publication manuscripts and the finished product, I can say that Brown's work is a compromise between his talents and the demands of the publisher. That said, this is an excellent primer for any college-bound student. It gives basic information and hints while encouraging the reader to find a path best suited for his or her own needs. As for complaints about pro-life vs. pro-choice in other reviews, they seem overblown to me. It is a controversial topic and Brown has successful navigated these troubled waters in my opinion. All in all, it is an excellent read: always informative and occasionally amusing.

Good, for a start

If you're interested in a wide variety of college elements, then this is the book for you. It doesn't go in-depth on any single topic, but it briefly covers almost everything related to college life. Buy this book if you're curious about college and don't mind having each and every one of your questions answered thoroughly.
