 Rating:  - Excellent ReadI'll keep my review brief as there are already several excellent reviews below that capture the book excellently. This is a charming account of the author adventures at HBS, I found the book excellently written. This is definitely a page turner, I read it in 3 sittings and found myself laughing out loud many times. I think this book would be valuable to anyone attending any MBA program, not just HBS.

Broughton offers genuine insights on this Berlitz-like total immersion into graduate business study, striving and struggling to ... Read More Rating: - ahead of the curve but behind the 8-ballI had to give the book 5 stars because I couldn't put it down and because it was so thought-provoking. I can't help comparing is book to Robert Reid's earlier book, Year One. Reid describes professors and fellow students more vividly than Broughton does. But Broughton seems to be describing an HBS that has changed since Reid's day. Reid didn't refer to expensive (and apparently useless) group trips, tasteless pranks and parties and psychological tests. HBS seems to have more students with military ... Read More
