Customer Reviews

Fun for a long hot summer

The Student Body is suspenseful, sexy, and hilarious. The setting is Harvard and, it captures the flavor of the college town and the city of Boston. Toni Isaccs, the heroine, is smart and resourceful and passionate about solving the mystery invlving her friends and classmates. Van is an unforgettable character, the sexiest man on campus with a hidden secret. Chase scenes and snide sarcasm alternate to make a really entertaining book. I'm so glad this is finally a paperback!

Fast paced thrills

I thought The Student Body was an exciting and very entertaining read. The almost sarcastic humor was great comic relief for a fast paced thriller plot that sounded more like an episode of Hard Copy than a novel about the Ivy League.I really liked the strong characterization of Toni and her friend, young women who won't take no for an answer. Toni is a great character.

Original and Exciting -- but not for the irony-impaired

Jane Harvard's collaborative book differs from most of what's on the market in that it's a thriller with a sense of humor, and its characters are not limited to white men. It succeeds both as a page-turner and as an ironic commentary on "multicultural"issues. Obviously, not everyone is into this, but then again, not everyone is into books that require intelligence. I loved it, and got my friends to read it.

Fascinating from the first page!!

I received this book for Christmas and was finished reading it by that night!! It was an exciting read from the beginning. I would definitely read anything else that these four decide to write!!

The most fun I've had since graduating!

Okay, I admit it. I was leery of this book because of all the hype. And yet...it sounded so interesting. Maybe it wouldn't hurt to read just a tiny bit. And just a bit more. Then I was doomed. The true-to-life (if a bit larger) characters, the snappy writing, and the cutting humor sucked me in. And I was reading a trashy novel and -- yes -- enjoying it!I'm a graduate of one of the other Ivies (the best one, if you ask me), but I think everyone who went to college in the eighties or nineties will identify. This is one hot Body!
