Reid, Robert

• Year One

  • I hadn't heard of this book until I found it on a discount shelf at a bookstore. I love reading about college experiences from other perspectives (being an instructor of Physics and Astronomy at TCU myself), so I decided to give this a try. This is the diary of a student's first year at Harvard Business School. Very readable, especially the first half. The second half gets a little bogged down in details, and I think the tone reflects the author's lessening sense of wonder and fascination (and the setting in of cynicism). Anyway, I really liked it and would recommend it to any business student, regardless of where they're planning to go for their MBA.
