Must buy for all seniors

As college becomes an option for more and more students it has become increasingly important for them to be properly prepared for college life. But by the time they are seniors they have generally stopped listening to too much the adults around them are saying! This is where Kick Ass In College comes it. Gunnar Fox has found the way to write an invaluable, step by step guide to the whole process that will grab students' (and their parents') interest and keep them reading until the last page. In an easy to follow, engaging format Fox relates the success in college as the cornerstone for success in life. By addressing each aspect from why good grades really are important, to getting to know your professors to study habits and dealing with love, he covers all the nitty gritty of college life. Its emphasis on grades as a means to success in life after school give meaning and motivation to the structured study habits he describes in this book. The bold faced section headings and the Key Points as the chapter summaries give the readers the sign posts through out the book to follow and refer back to for information. The book manages to be extremely entertaining while giving seriously good suggestions and information. Kick Ass in College's excellent advice should be read by all college bound students and their parents. It will give our students the extra edge they need to be prepared both for life at college and a pathway to their future success. As college becomes an expectation for most students, schools are overwhelmed by No Child Left Behind requirements and parents themselves may never have a post secondary education, Gunnar Fox's book is a well needed dose of reality and information. This book should be the number one graduation gift for all graduating seniors. It is like giving each student a gift of his own personal, enjoyable academic coach with a great sense of humor to accompany him to college. What could be a better, more useful gift? Personal Note: I have never stepped outside of my role as a reviewer on line before but think I should now. As the mother of a high school senior and a junior, this book really struck a chord with me. I have given my copy to my senior who is finding it to be a fantastic view of her future with concrete, understandable advise she can follow. As a successful high school student it is very familiar to her. She is also enjoying the read! When she is done it will go immediately to her sister who has this all to look forward to in another year! Sometimes a reviewers role runs right into reality. Lucky for my family and me this is one of those cases! Thank you Gunnar for sharing this book with us!

A MUST READ

I was stunned at how accurate this book is, and I am making it require reading for all of my children. I was told about this book by a friend who had read an email about it, and found it totally by luck. Hopefully this thing hits the mainstream because it will change a lot of lives for the better! Wish I had read it before I went to college...
