Summary: Not a bad read
Review: Honestly, I read this book. I felt it was very down to earth and a very easy read. Zach does his best to make incomming freshmen at ease with their transition into college life. For the most part it is humorous and has enough wit to keep most readers interested.I will say that it doesn't give the most complete look at college life. In order to impart your college freshman with a complete point-of-view of the college experience I recommend (in addition to this book): Been There, Should've Done That II : More Tips for Making the Most of College by Suzette Tylor. (ISBN: 0965608611 ) Decent advice, and a quick read. College 101 : The Book Your College Does Not Want You To Read (ISBN: 0966412206 ) by Guy Stevens. The advice is spot on and any book hated by college administrations can't be all bad! Also some of the stories are pretty classic.

Summary: Great Gift
Review: I bought this book as a going away to college present for my daughter on her eighteenth birthday just a week before she was to start college. She was getting nervous about the big move and this really helped her face the future. She absolutely loved it! She was laughing so hard and she couldn't put it down. I skimmed the book and found it told it like it is in a down to earth way. Now that she's been gone for a few months she told me it's all true! This would make a really good Christmas gift for a high school senior or a high school graduation present.

Summary: Passing it on.
Review: I bought this book for myself after highschool graduation. I read it on the plane going away for the summer and I couldn't stop laughing. I have spent a lot of time away from home and so many of what Zach says is totally true. I stayed at a local college for a year and now that I am moving into the dorm I actually pulled his book out as a manual for dorm life! This is a great reference book for college students to have on hand. Whenever college seems scary just pull it out. I have a friend who is graduating highschool this year and I went looking for the book to give it to him. But the stores don't carry the book anymore! I knew I wanted him to have this book before he went away to college, but I hated the thought of giving up my copy. I was so glad Amazon has it! This is a GREAT book for anyone to read before college, in college, or after college. It provides laughs, truth, and tips. It makes going away to college a lot less scary. Make sure every Christian and Non-Christian highschool graduate has this book packed somewhere in there car(it will fit under the seat if you have to) when they leave for college. Thanks Zach for such a great book!! I wish I'd thought of it!

Summary: Hysterical and insightful
Review: I bought this book the day after I graduated from college. No kidding! I read it in pieces here and there, and found myself reading bits and paragraphs to my friends and old roommates. This is one of the funniest books I have ever read! Having already been to college, I knew exactly what Arrington was talking about in so many parts. In a mix of philosophy on 8 am classes to explict directions on doing laundry (useful for most guys I know who have been doing their own laundry with much, um...obvious...abandon for years), he manages to cover all the bases of college life. His insight and humor is astounding, and whether you are about to start college, or have graduated a long time ago, I'd recommend this book. This would be an especially good gift for a recent high school graduate. BTW, make sure you see the drawing on page 50... ;)

Summary: Witty, humerous and most importantly, TRUE
Review: I went to the same school as the author in fourth grade, and just recently went to the book signing he had at ... . We talked for a while and I have to admit, he is just as hysterical in person and just as funny as he used to be in class. I know that everyone who is going off to college or is already attending or if youve already graduated, you will all find this book to be a great laugh. Dont even be surprised if you do it out loud in front of a bunch of people you dont know. Just show them the book and tell them to buy it, it is most certainly worth it. Im almost tempted to buy another autographed copy just to sell it after it sells out and he becomes famous. And I would not be surprised at all if the review of this book from the reader in Tomball is him.

Review: This book is FREAKING HILARIOUS! I got it for Christmas after my first semester here. I finnished it in two days. It was hilarious. When I get back to school, I'm gonna recommend it to all my warped friends. What's really funny is when he mentions ADD and a really tiny attention span and I remember I have one of those also and.....what was I talking about again? Hi....baby rabbits are cute....I'm going to go study my coloring books again now....

Summary: Awful book!
Review: This is one awful, awful book. I hated it. It was NOT funny, as I think he intended it to be, and it had no content value at all. He is basically trying to sell his diary. To be honest, I didn't finish it. It didn't help me at all.
