Degrees, Money and the Future
For a long time, it was politically incorrect to protest the huge increase in university/college attendance across developed nations in Europe and North America. University attendance went from approximately 14% in the 1970s to over 40% today. Tony Blair famously wanted 50% of youngsters to attend university. A degree was lauded as a springboard to socio-economic mobility, and graduates were suppo

"Expected to love this book but I didn’t. I didn’t care much for the writing, especially the sometimes awkward banter between the 3 MCs. The plot, about a vampire, a demon and a wizard forming a blood pact against tradition, and as a result, being thr"

i don't even know why i didn't like it, i just couldn't get into it and i was really bored throughout most of it. maybe it was the writing style, and the fact that i thought the characters could have been better developed? but it's probab" Read more of this review » |

It’s difficult for me to review this book fairly. I am not neutral when it comes to LGBT books—I want there to be more of them. What I can say: it does some things well, and some things… not so well. Let’s start with column A, the good stuff. The rela ...more |

| Mixed feelings on this story. One the one hand, it’s got a gay romance, which is great, especially since it’s rare in the zombie genre. I did enjoy the romance, very much – though I think it’s one of those things that depends on taste. This is not a ...more | |

"I would like to give this book four stars. it has some wonderful moments and it tells a good story. On the whole I enjoyed it, but not four stars worth.

I’ve re-read this book because I read it a long time ago, when I was quite young, and have forgotten too much to give a proper review. I do not love this book. I think the first book, Sabriel, is amazing; and the Keys to the Kingdom are awesome. Comp ...more |

| This book is an old favourite of mine. I love most of Garth Nix’s work, and Sabriel is one of my favourites; I liked some of the Keys to the Kingdom books (especially Friday, Saturday, Tuesday and Sunday) more, but that’s more personal preference. Te ...more | |

| I think many of the one star reviews on Goodreads are unfair. That they are harsh towards books which are really quite fun (and not meant to be taken too seriously). This is not the case here; this is a serious book, but it s a bad book, and thus it ...more | |

“There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable.
There is another theory which states that this has already happened.”

“For instance, on the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much—the wheel, New York, wars and so on—whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man—for precisely the same reasons.”

“The story so far:
In the beginning the Universe was created.
This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.”
