Five Stars Jim Good, funny read about the inside life of a kid at Harvard that probably shouldn't be there.. "I Can't Wait For the Movie!" according to Amazon Customer. I had a great time reading this book and in fact loved it. The first half of the book is hard hitting laugh out loud funny and the second half just wraps up beautifully. It's very easy to imagine this story becoming a National Lampoon movie with a young SNL cast member. The material and ending is simply gold. In addition, I learned a good bit about Harvard in a way that humanizes it.. Critic said Hilarious Novel!. This is a very funny read! The story made me reminisce about my own college experience, and I could definitely identify with some of Kester's more awkward moments. He does a great job depicting Harvard!
