5.0 out of 5 stars Steve Hofstetter nailed it., June 8, 2004

By 

Ben Hartman (Lewisburg, Pa United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Student Body Shots: A Sarcastic Look at the Best 4-6 Years of Your Life (Paperback)

Most college humorists crack jokes about such tired subjects as the bad cafeteria food, small living spaces, and big classes. Funny, sure, but reading it is a lot like having a stand-up comedian joke about bad airline food and how he or she can't program their VCR.

In contrast, Steve Hofstetter nailed the college experience to a tee. Everything from classes and parents to hook-ups and parties are discussed in a hilarious (and slightly sarcastic) manner, with unbelievable, undeniable accuracy. Student Body Shots is a must-read for college students and anyone else who fondly remembers the experience.

I was shocked at how good this book was. I saw it in my school paper and picked up a copy and WOW. I don't think I stopped laughing once. Hofstetter is absolutely hysterical, and right about everything. If you're a freshman, buy this book now and save yourself the trouble of learning it all on your own.

5.0 out of 5 stars the best of college humor, September 29, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Student Body Shots: A Sarcastic Look at the Best 4-6 Years of Your Life (Paperback)

Hofstetter writes with a brutal honesty that is hysterical. As a college student, I can't get enough of seeing my own life in his humor. This book is a great gift for anyone you know in college or for any you know that might want to revist those 4-6 years of their youth.
