I couldn't get through it, nothing ever happens, no plot, no antagonist, protagonist, nothing. I put it down after 100 pages or so.

What a funny, funny book! Lots of characters to keep track of, but that’s not a criticism. Mrs. Walker is my hero, working behind the scenes and in total control. Great fun.

Oh life, intrigues, politics, and hijinks associated with the academic life in a small agricultural college. Loved it especially since I've experienced much of the same in various institutions of higher education in my career. There is nothing like life in academia.
