A bit too much of a good thing

This highly-detailed analysis of the essay-writing process may be a little too complete for its own good. Germov has done an impressive job of organizing his material. His thirteen chapters are divided into many clearly-labeled subtopics, which are amply developed by means of charts and bulleted lists. No stone has been left unturned in his exhaustive analysis of how to organize, research, draft, and polish a college-level essay. This concise but information-packed volume might serve as a fine textbook for a course on academic writing, but it is not a book that invites casual consultation on the part of young essay writers in search of a few helpful hints. These observations notwithstanding, Germov has done a remarkable job of analyzing the essay-writing process.
