Summary: Worthwhile Book to Read for College Freshmen
Comment: Pat O'Brien came to speak to my graduating senior class this year about the reality of college and how to make the best of it. I think it was a good thing to put the end in perspective first and make goals for yourself in order to make your path towards success even more efficient. His Winning Characteristics are not always easy to accomplish, but with discipline and hard work anyone can achieve them. Basic tips on studying, getting to know professors, extracurricular activites, and internships are helpful in envisioning your undergraduate years as challenging, but exciting experiences. Overall, O'Brien offers sufficient and real information that every college freshmen should know, and if he or she utilizes O'Briens advice they will be much more likely to be successful.

Summary: I used the book and earned a 4.0!
Comment: I read the book during my senior year in high school and then referred to the book often during my first quarter in college. I followed the suggestions in the book, I organized my day and I found that I had enough time to study and also enough time to enjoy college life. Well, the results are in I earned a 4.0!

Summary: I was misled
Comment: I would sum up the contents of this book as "fairly useless." It was also disappointing, amidst these glowing recommendations from other people that prompted me to try it out. The book itself was probably less than 150 pages and more than half of those pages were filled with either graphics or simple cartoons. The narrative was trite and filled with cliches. O'Brien did not suggest specific internship programs or activities but was rather vague in providing examples for his guide to a successful college experience. My college handbook (provided FREE of charge from my university) was by far more enlightening!

For college students thinking of buying this book, you guys are wasting your money. You're better off spending your money on food or a good novel rather than wait for this book to be sent out and discover to your dismay that you had wasted it on some silly, misleading, and overly simplified book on how to succeed in college.
