Each year, over 40,000 new students enter America's law schools. Each new crop experiences high rates of depression, anxiety, fatigue, and dissatisfaction. Kathryne Young was one of those students and set out to learn more about the law school experience and how to improve it for future students. Combining her own observations and experiences with the results of her study and the latest sociological research on law schools, Young offers a very different take from previous books about law school survival.

Don't Waste Your Money, Very Left Wing Politics

A clear-eyed view of law school!
Revisado: 12-17-20
This fantastic book tells about law school like it really is. It’s great whether you’re headed for a big firm or the public interest world, and speaks to students across the political spectrum. Other law school guides aren’t research-based but this one is! The author liked law school herself but suggests room for improvement and helps students from all walks of life figure out their path through law school. LOL at the review that called the book "left wing politics." Not sure that person read the book. Maybe they just don't like research?

Peter Cunningham has been looking for inspiration for his novel - that is, when he isn’t teaching at the local women’s prison, walking his dog, getting high, and wondering whether it’s time to tie the knot with his college girlfriend. When Peter meets Leslie, a sexual adventurer taking a break from her fiancé, he gets a glimpse of what he wishes and imagines himself to be: a writer of talent and nerve. Over the course of a Virginia summer, their charged, increasingly intimate friendship opens the door to difficult questions about love and literary ambition.

Vapid and disappointing
Revisado: 11-26-18
I would not have finished this book if it were any longer. But I kept listening in, because the characters and the sex were all vaguely interesting. But, my God — the characters were so dull and substanceless. They were all too clever without ever saying anything interesting, which perhaps was the point, but the point was made in the first chapter. The point of view switch at the end also felt like a cop out. Maybe I am being too hard on this book, since I did listen to the end, after all. But... yeesh.

It’s 2011, and Samuel Andresen-Anderson—college professor, stalled writer—has a Nix of his own: his mother, Faye. He hasn’t seen her in decades, not since she abandoned the family when he was a boy. Now she’s re-appeared, having committed an absurd crime that electrifies the nightly news, beguiles the internet, and inflames a politically divided country. The media paints Faye as a radical hippie with a sordid past, but as far as Samuel knows, his mother was an ordinary girl who married her high-school sweetheart.

Amazing book
Revisado: 10-07-16
Really wonderful, compelling book. Im sure many folks have compared the prose to David Foster Wallace, which is apt. The Nix is very much worth reading: sprawling, expansive, and very funny. Even where it is flawed or lags a little, I was happy to be lost in it.
My only problem was with the narration. The narrator does a wonderful job with different voices… However, the book is written from an omniscient point of view. Thus, it is strange and jarring and doesn't make much sense at times when the omniscience takes on the voice of different characters.

The Goldfinch is a haunted odyssey through present-day America and a drama of enthralling force and acuity. It begins with a boy. Theo Decker, a 13-year-old New Yorker, miraculously survives an accident that kills his mother. Abandoned by his father, Theo is taken in by the family of a wealthy friend. Bewildered by his strange new home on Park Avenue, disturbed by schoolmates who don't know how to talk to him, and tormented above all by his unbearable longing for his mother, he clings to one thing that reminds him of her: a small, mysteriously captivating painting that ultimately draws Theo into the underworld of art.

Riveting.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I wanted to savor it and savor it. I gorged myself in the middle, then slowed down toward the finale, because I just didn't want it to end!
Any additional comments?
The Goldfinch lags a bit in the middle. It feels stark and depressing... for a while. But if you're feeling the lull, push through it--it's worth it.
