I never understood satire in books and this was no exception. I just didn't get it. However, I did end up enjoying the story somewhat. However, it did have something I really liked. The title of the book is also a book in the book. The main character uses a book called Japanese by Spring to learn Japanese. This is just something I enjoy in books, it makes a nice little circle. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha

Reed's tongue in cheek commentary on institutional endowments was pretty funny. A student can get away with murder because his father practically funds the entire college. Where have we seen that before? Be prepared for other snarky commentary on political hotbed topics like the LA riots and the beating of Rodney King, nationalism, racism, any ism you can think of. Speaking of racism, here is a snarky scene to ponder: a professor is exclaiming that racism has never existed on the Jack London College campus while a fraternity is having its annual "Slave Day." I was tempted to play a drinking game with the words nationalism and Yoruba. ( )
