sarahbythebook's review against another edition
funny
reflective
slow-paced
2.0
I am not the target audience for this book. If I were a cishet white man, maybe I would have enjoyed the humor more.
The main character is an ass, there’s some fat phobia, gross references to academic abuse of power (college), animal death, and way too much focus on one guy’s penis.
I’m a little squigged out by the fact that a (white male) former professor of mine recommended this to me, but I think it has more to do with my experience and dislike of higher education—there were parts that were genuinely funny, and I can see some of the truth in the satire of a college department with an unwilling head. The sexual humor was just too off base for me personally.
