Summary: Nothing beyond common sense
Rating: 2
This book contains pretty much nothing beyond common sense truths that are obvious to any graduate student who has thought about becoming a researcher and who has been part of a lab. For example, if you have written and succeeded in publishing at least one paper, you know everything that is written in this book about writing papers.
Perhaps, I bought this book with the wrong expectation that the authors would uncover some things about being a scientists that are not obvious but nevertheless important. At least this was the impression that I got from reading a positive review of this book in Nature. This is not the case: they discuss things that are important but obvious. So, in my opinion this book may be good for undergraduate or 1st year graduate students who have just begun thinking about a scientific career and have not yet been exposed to the research environment at all.
Summary: For graduate students
Rating: 5
This is an excellent easy-to-read book which goes over essential knowledge (although often obvious) to start a career in science. I would especially recommend this book to every Master and Ph.D. students in science to guide them towards achieving a successful career path.
Summary: A must read for student and beginner scientists
Rating: 5
A very educational book, enjoyed every page.
