5.0 out of 5 stars What a masterpiece of simplicity!, September 8, 2005
I've bought two successive editions of this book, and will recommend it to any of my students who finds him- or herself needing to produce a critical review of literature.

The Matrix Method is a simple, clean, and easy-to-understand way to find, review, classify and organize the literature in any subject! It is elegance itself.

Brava, Dr. Garrard!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good especially for grad students, October 6, 2007
By E. Epstein (Virginia) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I wish I'd read this book when I was starting my doctoral program. It is easy to read, almost too simplistic in some spots. Overall helpful and logical. Recommend for doctoral students.

4.0 out of 5 stars helpful, April 26, 2009
I bought this book for help on writing a master's thesis. I had no idea how to write a literature review and this book was helpful in just giving me a foundation of where to start.
