From Slate:
We could all stand to lighten up about everyday traumas, and a book that invites us to chuckle more and “work through” less, while imparting nuggets of useful information here and there in a self-effacing narrative context, is the best kind of self-help guide I know. So thank you, Andrew Ferguson, for publishing Crazy U: One Dad’s crash course in Getting His Kid Into college as my oldest child enters the final phase of the college-applications triathlon.
