This book is written in a laid back manner that the reader should enjoy,and Stein understands the trials of the student because he points out his disorganization in university.The information in ‘‘Secrets of the Successful Student’’ is truly valuable,and the situations that Stein describes at the first of each chapter are hilarious,especially the one which introduces the chapter on fitness.I will not tell you about this situation because you can read it.”’Sercets of the Successful Student’’ may be one of the best books that you will read this year.
