The dim-witted...,
By Eric Trabucco (California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Get Off My Brain: A Survival Guide for Lazy Students (Paperback)
This book is for the bright underachiever. The dim-witted or slow of study may not appreciate its irreverence. The creative student, however, will love the everpresent humor and clever strategies. In the Foreword, the late Steve Allen describes the book as a "winning combination of wit and wisdom." I could not have said it better.

Double E's: Educational & Entertaining,
By AJ Sanchez "Sanchez" (Arizona) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Get Off My Brain: A Survival Guide for Lazy Students (Paperback)
The book is comprised of tips to do better in school (I love this format/style of writing). Since it is obviously geared toward those who are lazy, it provides essentials, albiet minimal, for success. The point here though is that these essentials create success, improving various aspects of the students academic life.
I must also note that the book, when conveying its messages and warnings, does so in an entertaining manner. Like the reviewer(s) below noted, it joked that you should stroke the professor's ego. While we see how unethical it may sound, the message being demonstarted here is: be on the teacher's good side and not on their bad side. And while it sounds simple, I'm sure this leads to benefits in class because the teacher would not have a grudge against you. So in the end, the book is short, full of usable and success-brewing tips, and almost always fun and interesting.

Talk About Great Advice,
By A Customer
This review is from: Get Off My Brain: A Survival Guide for Lazy Students (Paperback)
This book gave me an edge on the rest of the students in my class. At first I thought that it would be a little sketchy. I felt that the only way to cure my laziness is not to be lazy. This book teaches you how to be more efficient with your time to maximize your potential. For a Dog Eat Dog environment (especially concerning college) this book is amazing. The amazing advice coupled with the great and intellegent humor makes this book a MUST BUY!
