    Russo is great, but I didn't enjoy this send-up of academia as much as Jane Smiley's "Moo."

    I didn't care for it. Seemed like a John Irving novel to me.

    I've read 4 other Russo books before this and it's vintage Russo. It could be my age but it definetly caused me some angst as I sympathized (empathized?) with Hank.

    Killer funny!
    Shreds the pretensions of academia and undresses some marvelous characters.
    HIGHLY recommended.

    I normally love Russo, but I eventually set this one aside and never went back. It was funny, but there was too much writing about the main character's penis.
