[Rob · Rating 3 out of 5]

Very interesting book about college life in the late 90's. The culture (of both students and staff), the history, the bureacracy, the "business" of colleges and a lot about what modern college students go through.

[Barbara Mader · Rating 2 out of 5]

Kind of dated now; was published in 1997. Mildly interesting book about the reality behind the facade of college and university life. Reading it, I kept thinking, "I could do something like this, and do it better."

[Jerry Fields · Rating 5 out of 5]

Intelligent, funny, sad, extremely well researched. Will someday be recognized as a classic of nonfiction.

[Kilkee20 · Rating 5 out of 5]

Sophisticated, informed, complex, ambitious literary fiction, which sadly is a dying art. This is a fine example, and deserves to be much better known.
