Snapshots from Hell: The Making of an MBA

Rating:
Summary: An accurate and entertaining essay on the MBA experience.
Review: Written in an easy to read, natural style,this bookdescribes the trials and tribulations of undertaking anMBA degree at a prestigious Californian university. While at first it appears to ask us to suspend disbelief (the author was one of Ronald Reagan's speechwriters!), it soons moves on to a fascinating account of the life of an MBA student. Coming from a non-business background, Peter Robinson struggles with much of the course material, but finds time to think about and discuss the philosophies behind the subjects he is studying, as well as examining the psyches of his fellow students. Guaranteed to cause flashbacks for anyone who has studied at university as a 'mature' student!
