review 1: Find a different book. Or use some of those awesome search skills you've honed doing your academic research to find a few really great internet resources on doing a lit review, print them out at the student computer lab, and use that fancy stapler next to the printer to make them into your very own book. Scrawl your name and the words "STUFF THAT WILL ACTUALLY HELP ME FINISH THIS PROCESS WITHOUT LOSING MY MIND" on the front, and sleep with it under your pillow. I mean, you will have to refer to it sometimes too, probably--but even if you don't, it might be more useful than this book.
review 2: I've been told that I'm a great writer of literature reviews, and in preparation on teaching a workshop for others on the topic, I thought I would read this. In particul... morear, I was hoping for systemic and step-by-step advice that I could pass on. Frankly, I found more that confused me than that I thought I could use. To be clear, there is a lot of good advice here, and the authors certainly chart a more systemic course than I could articulate on my own. However, many of their charts seemed needlessly complex, and there weren't enough examples to understand how they would extrapolate their ideas in the context of actually writing a review. less
