 Interesting, with a few though provocing remarka March 15, 1999
I definitely and strongly recomend this book to anyone considering going to HBS (and only to those!). The book is quite intelectually oriented (you will find little clies on who Bob really is, what kind of poetry, of literature he likes, who his friends are) but that is OK. The best remark in this book is his "lemmings theory" - the theory that too many of us just go with the crowd, without really knowing where we would like to go. Interesting!!
An easy reading, but leaves you waiting for more July 4, 1998
Well, let's start by saying that I read the book in one week, and I couldn't hardly separate from it. What I don't like from the book is that it ends so abruptly... I'd have liked that the book should have something like an epilogue, like a briefing of the second year, the summer job and the friends
 A Must-have Book for all Business Graduate Students. April 14, 1998
As a soon-to-be graduate student at a top b-school that focuses on the case-study method, I was at first rather apprehensive when I read through Reid's book. It felt that I panicked or was frustrated whenever the author panicked or was frustrated (which was a lot), but I also found that I laughed whenever the author laughed and related exceptionally well to his candor. Basically, I feel that in a small way, I have already experienced that harrowing first year. Reid's book has practically prepared me for my upcoming year by literally giving me tips on what university, the faculty, and fellow students will expect of me and what I can expect of them. A must-have, light-hearted, and down-to-earth book on a not so down-to-earth institution.
A must have handbook for business majors March 27, 1998
This one is a must have for every business major. I liked Rob Reid's candor, his effortless writing, and most of his jokes. I believe people going into Wall Street or other financial service industries will find this book invaluable. My advise will be to read the section on interviews a coule of times. My personal favorite was "Hell!" though I loved the one in which the some prankster changed everyone's name plates. Again, this is a really cool book to buy.
 Great book for incoming B-school students January 26, 1998
This book is a must read for anyone going to business school. I found the sections that discuss the whole classroom dynamic to be good preparation for my first business classes.
