I loved this book! It had such a finger on the pulse of modern university life. I felt like I was back in college! Fantastic characters, great use of "hip" language...I never would have guessed this book was written by a middle-aged man...he nailed the female college experience.

Thinly disguised rant against a certain university located in the South with a well-renowned basketball team. The writing is fun and the characters are so outrageous, but after awhile the humor wears thin.

I didn't care for this book. Having been a fairly naive girl in college not too long ago, I didn't think Charlotte Simmons (or any of the other college characters) "sounded" right. Also, it was written with an apparently condescending tone, which I didn't like.

Just finished reading this. A long (738 page), satisfying read that makes you cringe about the college life and hope that much of it is truly fictional. Wolfe develops his characters and creates a web that eventually intertwines.

I finished this book because I made myself. It just seemed to go on and on, and I think this book could have been half as long. It seemed to never really get to the point, I would not recommend.
