Rating: Summary: great bedtime reading - you won't want to put it down Review: "Jane Harvard" definitely brings to life the convolution of an average college campus. It's hard to keep up with who is sleeping with whom and whether they get paid for it! This thriller may lead those who weren't getting any action at college to wish they'd gone to Harvard. In the meantime, there's actually a plot of sorts and the woman journalist protagonist is both interesting and a little too curious for her own good. You have to wonder if she ever studies! None of the characters is really developed all that well, and for some you have a lot of difficulty figuring out WHY they are in positions of authority at a leading university...but it still keeps your attention. It's a fast ride all the way thru and it does keep you up reading past your bedtime. The seamy side of life is revelled in - so sit back and enjoy the ride.
Rating: Summary: IRRESISTIBLE DRAMA Review: "The Student Body" gives new meaning to Hitchcock's definition of drama: life with all the dull bits cut out. Don't miss this incredible treat of a read in which a gallery of well-rounded characters is matched by attention to narrative detail. The novel is graced with a plot that takes on way more than students' (and everyone else's) sex lives to address how universities act no less ruthfully than Dow Chemical in search of the proverbial buck.
Rating: Summary: Fun! Contemporary and wild! Review: "The Student Body" is a MUST read!! It's fun and an easy reading book.The story is quite contemporary and you will find yourself flying through the pages as you try to figure out what is going to happen next. The characters are completely delicious and fierce!! You'll love them.
Rating: Summary: I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE SEQUEL!!!!! Review: "The Student Body" kept me riveted from the moment I opened the book. The story is fast-paced, with complex characters, and clever plot twists that keep one guessing. Readers of Michael Crichton will appreciate the novel's bio-tech plot line; readers of Robert Ludlum will appreciate the complicated tale the authors have weaved; readers of John Grisham will appreciate the underdog hero Toni taking on the establishment. I can't wait for the sequel!
Rating: Summary: I love your web page Review: "The Student Body" web page is "fab". Check it out! It is one of the best I've seen. I just ordered the book and am looking forward to reading it. I am a long time fan of the writing of Faith Adiele.Blessed be your journey, Elaine Lee Editor of Go Girl: The Black Woman's Book of Travel and Adventure
Rating: Summary: SEXY, WITTY, WELL-WRITTEN! Review: A book for us mystery addicts who enjoy a thriller with a great sense of place--in this case, the Harvard campus and Cambridge MA. Also for those of us who like well-developed characters; the "baddies" are so complex that I found myself alternately admiring and detesting them. Abundant humor of the slyly satirical type. Well-plotted, with minimal violence but lots of good sex scenes. A good read. I look forward to the next book in the series.
Rating: Summary: I laughed, I cried...I recognized people and places! Review: As a recent Harvard grad, I picked up "The Student Body" out of curiosity. I was surprised by how much I enjoyed the book; I'm not a big fan of suspense novels or mysteries, but the plot held my interest. The best thing about "The Student Body," though, is its depiction of people and places. The Jane Harvard group have created some strong characters and really captured the Cambridge scene. All in all, an unusually intelligent airport read!

Rating: Summary: A++ Review: Awesome novel...fast paced...very sexy. Found myself irresistibly drawn to the characters especially Vietnamese stud Van. Liked the diversity of characters and the well-fleshed out plot especially. A++
Rating: Summary: It brings sex, espionage and truth to life before your eyes. Review: Being a college student and a college newspaper reporter, I found this book to be especially intriguing. The web of deciet, lust and distruction was unparrallel to that of any other novel I have read. I suggest this novel to anyone, young or old, male or female. The Student Body is simply put, perfect.
