Sophomore (Paperback)

~ Michael Gerber (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Million-selling Michael Gerber (of the Barry Trotter series) is back with another winner! Hart Fox thought he'd seen it all after barely surviving his first year at Stutts University, the world's most prestigious college. But the place just keeps getting weirder! Half-satire, half-fantasy, and half-memoir, this mathematically-shaky-yet-hilarious sequel to FRESHMAN exposes the Ivy League in all its ancient, obnoxious, incestuous glory. All the characters you loved are back: Hart, the Midwestern striver constantly running afoul of the Powers That Be; Peter, the genius inventor with impulse control problems; and Tabitha, the peppy, preppy vampiress not afraid to kick ass and take names (in very girly handwriting). An Ivy League education is more expensive than ever. And, though they won't tell you this in the brochure, there's a very small possibility you'll turn out like George W. Bush. Can you afford to take that chance--read SOPHOMORE instead!

5.0 out of 5 stars FANTASTIC, October 4, 2007

By	Heather R. Binghamh "unemployed reader" (Wolcott, ct) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

While possibly an aquired taste, the book is fantastic. You should probably start with Freshman, Gerber's first book since he builds on past events.
Jump into the world of Stutts university where students pay huge amounts of money for a world class education which really probably won't do them any good in real life, but don't tell them that. it may cause a bigger meltdown when all the "Stutts moments" add up.
A fantastic mix of quick fire humor and satire which touches on every part of society (no one is safe so don't even try to hide) this book is well worth buying so you can read it any time the real world gets to you.
