Crazy U: One Dad's Crash Course in Getting His Kid… door Andrew Ferguson

As advertised. One dad's story about college admissions. Ferguson is a talented writer and tells an entertaining story. In many ways, this book is more about the parent's journey than the student's though there are useful details.

Crazy U: One Dad's Crash Course in Getting His Kid… door Andrew Ferguson

Not a memoir, more a reflection on the process of college admissions these days and how truly insane it is. Humorous, illuminating and deeply cynical all at once.

Crazy U: One Dad's Crash Course in Getting His Kid… door Andrew Ferguson

This was a fun read. Again, not a whole lot of "Wow, I needed to know that!" info, but it was funny and entertaining. Confirmed my "this is a scam and a huge waste of money" bias, though.

Crazy U: One Dad's Crash Course in Getting His… door Andrew Ferguson

The first couple of chapters were really fun to read - the writing was extraordinarily good for the subject matter. Unhappily, the quality slipped considerably from there, and it became just another yawn inducing book.
