[Henne · Rating 2 out of 5]

As a book about Alan Macfarlane I would say this does the job pretty well. But for a book about Cambridge in a general sense I found it to be lacking so much. I'm glad that this was written but I would rather there was a bit more competition out there with this book (in the somewhat niche genre that is Oxbridge memoir). It's not that this book is particularly bad, as it's actually quite well written for the most part, but it's hard to recommend to others because of its rather limited perspective. It's a difficult topic to write about and I don't know of many others like this book that succeed, so you should bear that in mind. Indeed one of the most frequent citations is to a book called "Camford Observed" by Rose and Ziman, which is obscure enough that it doesn't even exist on Goodreads let alone have any reviews.

[Meenakshi Chawla]

An easily readable book that appears to flow from the ancient beginnings of the world-class university to modern times when it has grown into an awe-inspring institution.

The author, a world-famous anthropologist, writes with a simplicity that can only be born of a deep understanding of his subject and a love for life itself.

I enjoyed this book immensely.
