I didn't care for this book. Having been a fairly naive girl in college not too long ago, I didn't think Charlotte Simmons (or any of the other college characters) "sounded" right. Also, it was written with an apparently condescending tone, which I didn't like.

I finished this book because I made myself. It just seemed to go on and on, and I think this book could have been half as long. It seemed to never really get to the point, I would not recommend.

One of my favorite books of all time. Well written, plan on ignoring everything in your life until it's finished.

Fun romp from the master of American social commentary. Not his best work, but it's an enjoyable read.
