Degrees, Money and the Future
For a long time, it was politically incorrect to protest the huge increase in university/college attendance across developed nations in Europe and North America. University attendance went from approximately 14% in the 1970s to over 40% today. Tony Blair famously wanted 50% of youngsters to attend university.

| I honestly don’t know why this book has received all these positive ratings. About the only thing I like about this book is that it offers a gay story in a genre that’s too dominated by heterosexual (and borderline misogynistic) rubbish. And the cove ...more | |

"— 2 out of 5 ★
Oh boy, where to start.. I think I kind of get why people like this book (judging by the ratings it has got so far) and honestly feel a bit bad for giving it such a low rating. The author clearly loves her characters very much and has pu" Read more of this review » |

of
Prince of the Sorrows (Rowan Blood, #1):
"DNF @ 22%.
I really have no patience for badly written, badly edited books. Misplaced modifiers rule this Universe. Too much description stalls the story, yet plenty of things are not explained at all. Some sentences don’t make any sense, period: “Grab" Read more of this review » |

| I DNFed this book around the halfway mark. This is not to say that the book was terrible; it was both the book, and my personal preferences having changed somewhat. There were no glaring technical errors: no typos or obvious plot holes. In fact, it e ...more | |

| This one is hard to rate, because the beginning and middle parts of this book were great, but the ending was just disastrous. Initially we were given a dramatic tale with a strong, feisty protagonist; there were plenty of twists and turns. The doormo ...more | |

| This is the first time I have ever not finished a book by Christopher Paolini. I was a *big* fan of the Eragon books – it was one of my favourite series, and still is. But let’s pretend this book never existed, shall we? Because it’s a huge disappoin ...more | |

“There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable.
There is another theory which states that this has already happened.”

“For instance, on the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much—the wheel, New York, wars and so on—whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man—for precisely the same reasons.”

“The story so far:
In the beginning the Universe was created.
This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.”
