About the author

Ben Olson was born and raised in north Idaho, in a small mountain town of hillbillies, realtors and hippies. He wrote "Wanderlost" in 37 days, when he was 25 years old.

He has worked as a dishwasher, busboy, bar tender, department store clerk, gas station clerk, golf pro, photographer, journalist, reclaimed lumber specialist, handyman, house painter, researcher, production assistant, producer, location scout, boat captain, propane filler, and finally, author.

After dropping out of Colorado State University after his third semester, Olson fled to Los Angeles to search for fame and fortune. He found neither. For three years he lived in disrepute, working as a low-level production assistant on television commercials and eventually documentary films. He recently worked as a research assistant on the Academy Award winning "An Inconvenient Truth." In 2004, Olson was hired to produce a fine art photography book by photographer Mark Story. The book is called "Living in Three Centuries," and is a book of portraits of the oldest people living in the world. For more than a year, Olson wandered around America searching for "super centenarians" (people over 110 years old). During this scouting period, Olson took constant notes on the American People, as well as his evolving self, and began formulating the idea to write a novel.

Ben Olson is mostly a bum. He is also an inveterate traveler, a sailor of Caribbean Seas, a tsunami relief volunteer in Thailand (where he was nearly killed in a motorcycle / water buffalo accident), a hitchhiker in the dying West, a backpacker and escape artists, and an advocate of roman candle shooting at drunks in downtown Seattle.

He writes occasionally for several small newspapers and magazines that nobody reads. He has been rejected by some of the best publications around. He has no money, no agent, no publicist and no hope.

Currently, Olson is homeless and couch-crashing around America, trying to find a place to finish his next novel.

Save yourself a few hundred dollars and pick this bargain of a book up instead of those phone books for LSAT prep. I will admit, I am an LSAT demon student, and have been following the guidelines from Ben and Nate for a bit. I’ve been studying for the LSAT for over a year and while I won’t say it has gotten significantly easier, it makes more sense as you apply really simple ideas to what is advertised as an impossible test.

If you’re just starting out, this might seem too simplistic, but it isn’t! As Ben and Nate say, the best way to get better is to do the actual LSAT and I have found the web portal they use to be super easy to use.

This has been SO helpful for LSAT prep!! My aunt bought it for me as a graduation gift and it got me on a great track for success. The book walks through each section and type of question you will see on the exam. The authors discuss how to approach the questions and effective study methods. I definitely recommend!!

Start here for your total overview of the LSAT and law school application prep. I came across this book 4 months after I began my LSAT journey, and this helped to clarify all my remaining questions.

Obviously applying yourself to timed test sections is the way to improve your score, but this book is informative and relatable to understand the structure like a human who reads English.
