I loved every page of this wicked, funny novel of crazed New Yorkers going through the process of elite private school admissions. (  )ennie | Nov 10, 2008 |   I kinda couldn't get into this book. It started off pretty light and funny and I thought it would be a nice light read, but hopefully someday I'll get back into it. Until then... carmarie | Sep 29, 2007 | Eh. It was OK. Some good gossipy stuff about the admissions process, and that was about all that I expected. I didn't really like the B-story about Helen and the "hot dad," but the relationship between Helen and her daughter. Most of the characterization and plot was pretty weak and superficial. It was a decent, light read. (  )tigertailamy | Mar 6, 2007 | This book was extremely dull. I tried to like it, but no dice.

Amazon.com Book Description (ISBN 0446533033, Hardcover)This sharply observed and bitingly funny novel exposes the over-the-top absurdity of New York City`s elite private school admissions circus. For Manhattan's most affluent parents, the Tuesday after Labor Day marks the beginning of the city's most competitive and vicious blood sport: the start of the private school admissions process. But for Helen Drager, mother of Zoe, it shouldn't be such an ordeal. After all, Helen's best friend Sara is an admissions officer at Zoe's current K-8. But Sara's position becomes precarious, and Helen soon finds herself drawn ever deeper into the mounting lunacy generated by the fierce competition.(retrieved from Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:58:17 -0400) The first test round has been closed.
