A dead moon.
A mysterious girl with purple eyes.
This college isn't a safety school.

His seventeenth year on earth went out with a whimper and anxious incoming freshman Hilary Litwack is headed up - straight up - to college on the moon and into a crucible that will burn away his past. Meeting up with his aggressively thuggish cousin Vladimir, he’s thrust into a new life filled with new friends, violence and treasure, the girl of his dreams, and ultimately the secrets of the moon and the people around him.

Moon College

Reviewed in the United States on July 7, 2013

It seemed a bit odd to me that a loser who couldn't get into any decent college on earth was taken right in by a College on the moon. After all, surely a college there must be something special. Otherwise they wouldn't go to the extreme expense of putting there. Right?

No matter, Hilary stumbled into a - sort of - course of study and started meeting all kinds of weir... people. Not the least of whom was one of the strangest girls imaginable with a strange "boy friend".

Every other person seemed to be some kind of cousin of his, adding to the list of weirdos - including one having his own surname. This one is eventually said to be brilliant, but can't speak his own language coherently.

A large central portion of the book skips back to spend time on earth during his semester break and goes on about more weirdos there.

I see Moon college as pretty much a lead-in to Moon College II, which is apparently not even written yet. (I wish it were.)

Well, at least it doesn't butcher the English language and syntax - unless intentionally.

Good but not great

The premise of this book plants the story of a young man living on the moon and studying there. It also has a beautiful girl ( surprise surprise) and he falls for her.

The first part of the book was interesting. The second half was all clutter and seemed non purposive. I felt it wasnt going anywhere and waited patently to see what was all about but it went nowhere. (again, surprise! ) The writing feels unfocused at times. If that was what the writer was intending I feel he achieved it right.

I did enjoyed the first part, but after that I just wanted it to end. I didnt want to leave it because I always end books but it was hard for me. There seems to be a second book in the works. I hope the author keeps getting better at it.

Very original! Loved it

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and look forward to the sequel. Slightly futuristic everyday details gave me a laugh - haha the moon versions of various products. Anxiety-ridden drug-using guy only gets accepted by the college on the moon. A dangerous cousin, a very mysterious and beautiful girl, an overgrown bully and other assorted characters people this interesting futuristic story with more than a few twists. BTW I am also a SE Pennsylvanian and also enjoyed the familiar places.

Nothing

I couldn't stand this book. From the main characters unconventional name, Hilary- and having to defend it constantly, to the cheesy lingo his cousin speaks constantly. If you're making words up a la Anthony Burgess, then include a vocab list or something!

I couldn't focus because I was blinded by hate for this book, so all those odd jumps from the moon to summer vacations back on Earth? Made no sense. Maybe Litwack should try writing some bizarro.

Will definitely not be reading the sequel.

Enjoyed it greatly

As Hilary subdued his inner demons and took his seat on the shuttle to the moon so did I settle in to be taken on a journey of romance, mystery and moonness, as I had been promised. And "Moon College" certainly delivered.

As the title suggests a lot of the story takes place in a college on the moon - a location that is made to feel exotic enough to be interesting but not so much that one ends up getting lost and confused. But cosmic college becomes really interesting once love enters the picture in the form of an outworldly beauty who captures Hilary's heart in an instant. As the story progresses we are greeted with more and more twists and turns until most things we thought we knew about the characters and the setting no longer holds true.

When I reached the end of "Moon College" I wanted more and luckily Geoffrey Litwack saved it on the last page by promising more in "A Path For Beasts".

And I certainly look forward to it.

I found this story on the recommendation of a friend on twitter. The price was nice enough to allow me to give up if I didn't like it, but I was captivated from the first chapter. I can't wait for the next part!

Amazing book!

The moment I've opened the first page, I could not put it down! It is wonderfully creative and refreshing, and you feel like you're in a rollercoaster, going from one surprise to another. I really cannot wait for book number 2!

An interesting, original, and enjoyable book

Reviewed in the United States on February 25, 2013

Wow, this book was something! The whole concept of college on the moon was something I had never thought about, but I loved it. It's a very original story, and I'm impressed with the creativity of Litwack. Moon College has your usual "forbidden love" kind of deal, but it goes much deeper than that. It also was a quick and easy read. I didn't have to buy this because I read it on my Kindle, but it would have been worth the money if I had bought it. I'm excited for the second book to come out!
