Book Reviews of Academic Stimulus Package (Piled Higher & Deeper)
Book Review: Jorge Keeps Getting Better!
Summary: 5 Stars
I discovered Piled Higher and Deeper and recognized that, behind the humor, very little (other than the technology) had changed since my own days in graduate school more years ago than I will admit to in public. I'm hooked on the strip and even my son (who is now 13-1/2) has been hooked on it since he was 10. I hope that this doesn't discourage him from pursuing a graduate education.
This collection picks up where the last one left off, with Mike Slackenerny a brand new Ph.D. and overqualified for any job other than working as a postdoctoral research associate and ending with Tajel's wedding. It has the added benefit of being printed in color (at last!)
The strip is intelligent, funny and an accurate comical take on what it means to spend what may be the prime of your life still in school. You can laugh and cry at the same time.
Summary of Academic Stimulus Package (Piled Higher & Deeper)
