Book Review of The Big U

The Big U
The Big U
Author: Neal Stephenson
Genre: Literature & Fiction
Book Type: Paperback
reviewed on + 18 more book reviews


The Big U is a hilariously-written satire of life in an American university. Stephenson applies his considerable wit and fast-paced writing to spin a story of civil war amidst the students and faculty. It reminded me a bit of "War Between the Pitiful Teachers and the Splendid Kids" but at the college level.
