Reviews

"A laugh-until-your-ribs-squeak book."
--George Will
"Compulsively readable, unusually vivid . . . The most darkly humorous aspect of this often hilarious book is its depiction of an admissions process that corrupts everything it touches."
--Daniel Akst, The Wall Street Journal
"In Crazy U, Ferguson is at his dazzling best, using humor and narrative as portals to very serious subjects. The book is both a hilarious chronicle of his 18-month ordeal helping his not-always-cooperative son apply to college and a devastating expos of the buying and selling of higher education in America."
--Christina Hoff Summers, National Review
