As a product of a prep school environment and an Ivy League education( Yale, Brown), I couldn't wait to read this novel about a Princeton college admissions officer. I was sorely disappointed. Originally I had planned to send this book to my niece, a Princeton grad, but I have to admit, this book was so slow moving and mired in boring minutiae, I could not do it. The writing is dense and detail-oriented, to the point of making the reader want to tear her hair out! Vast pages of dense, uninterrupted text, barely broken into paragraphs, with endless details about working in the admissions office. Long, boring, and unreadable.
