The Curve: A Novel By Jeremy Blachman

The Curve: A Novel By Jeremy Blachman Hardcover 1634253264 9781634253260 Fiction The Curve: A Novel The students at Manhattan Law School, a decrepit institution on the edge of the toxic Gowanus Canal in Brooklyn, are geographically challenged and mad as hell in debt up to their eyeballs and fighting over the few legal jobs left for those who are far outside the Ivy League. Our hero, Adam Wright, is a newly minted professor with high hopes and low expectations. But nothing has prepared him for a classroom of digitally distracted students, a rebellion of grade grubbers, a Law Journal staff at the helm of a school wide scam, and a corrupt administration that runs the school as if it were a personal ATM. Adam regrets leaving his lucrative corporate law firm for the wilds of academia, until he finds an ally in the brilliant and fetching Laura Stapleton, a colleague with her own troubling secrets. Now the two professors may just have to save legal education or join their students in the unemployment line or worse. With its colorful cast of eccentrics and law school misfits, a satirical plot that without too much of a stretch could be ripped from the headlines, and a proven author duo who know this world and have six previous books between them, The Curve continues Ankerwycke s trend of publishing high quality/highly readable legal fiction with an edge. The Curve is a hugely entertaining and deeply felt novel that satirizes the current state of higher education and reads like a cross between Dangerous Minds and The Paper Chase.

I absolutely LOVED this book Manhattan Law School is the misfit of higher education Each chapter reveals a new blemish that vividly illustrates a sinking institution I especially enjoyed the humor and style of writing that kept you laughing throughout this entire well written novel I would highly recommend this as a quick and entertaining Summer read It will keep you smiling English How did I not know about this book until now Can t wait to read it. The curve klinik Update Fun premise but never really grabbed me There are too many characters and none particularly relatable and too many points trying to be made Though the assessment of higher education and law firm life are spot on as I expected perhaps observations were a bit too on the nose to be funny There were a few laugh out loud moments in the book but mostly I just found myself nodding along English This wicked satire of law school gets top marks not even grading on a curve The author does for the law what Carl Hiassen does for the environment of Florida I received an ARC from Netgalley. Ebook survey of the old testament com and will definitely recommend it to all my lawyer friends My one big complaint has nothing to do with the writing but the e book format from Adobe It was not available for the kindle format but I did not anticipate any problems with reading it on a different app I have used Adobe before and although it doesn t have all the bells and whistles of Kindle it is serviceable This time the pages frequently wouldn t advance the font size had to be adjusted on each individual page and sometimes I had to quit and then re enter the app to get things moving I hope the publisher migrates to kindle when it is available. The curve of time book Be that as it may I want to give high marks to the wit of the authors and their sharp observations of human nature students teachers administrators and lawyers alike I particularly enjoyed the supplemental chapters scattered throughout that added office memos menus letters and posters all presented without comment and devastatingly funny The book was not just a hatchet piece however There was a good story with a clever ending that gave the reader hope for the future as long as you don t take it too seriously English It captured me at first then started to lose me halfway because I felt like none of the characters were really likable or had a reason to root for However it did make a great comeback at the end and honestly touched me. The curve bookstore Will say it was refreshing to read something not school assigned I had to re teach myself to appreciate the fluffy poetic language English Hilarious The sort of send up Starbuck O Dwyer and Christopher Moore did about PR marketing The authors know how to deliver the unexpected couched in lighthearted prose that stops just short of serious commentary upon some deep academic issues If they write I ll read it English
