Product Information
Now in paperback: "Both a hilarious narrative and an incisive guide to the college admissions process....Ferguson's storytelling is irresistible" ( The Washington Post ). Once a straightforward process, applying to college has evolved into a multi-year ordeal and spawned a multi-billion dollar cottage industry of freelance counselors, tutors, essay coaches, interview advisers, and political activists. In Crazy U , Ferguson spends time with the most sought-after private counselor, provides a pocket history of higher education in America, looks at the growth of the college marketing industry, and asks: Why the hell does college cost so much, and how can my kid get in? Writing with humor and humility, Ferguson chronicles his perilous journey through this seemingly impenetrable, hall-of-mirrors process where, it seems, even the slightest misstep could derail his son's future. Crazy U doesn't divulge the secrets of getting accepted to a dream school, but it will help readers maintain a measure of sanity as they enter the trenches of college admissions.

Reviews
"[Ferguson's] got a big, beating heart, but he tucks it behind a dry prose style that owes a little bit to Mark Twain and Tom Wolfe…and also to Dave Barry…[Crazy U] is a calm, amusing, low-key meditation on a subject that is anything but calm, amusing or low key." -Dwight Garner, The New York Times, "The joy of pride in one's child, the sadness of separation-all this is part of leaving for college, and in Ferguson's honest,deeply felt, and truthfully recorded memoir it is overlaid with the monstrosity known as the college application process. Rumor, gossip, college hucksterism,and internet bandits rule. Ferguson has written for every hair-rending and stressed parent who has gone through the process-or is about to. The book is hilarious, probing, maddening, moving, and gets it right." -William Bennett, bestselling author of The Book of Virtues, "Thank God a writer as good as Andrew Ferguson has finally written a book about what I, after two serious bouts of it, call 'college madness.' His title Crazy U says it faster and funnier. I've heard it called other colorful names but none fit for a book lying around in a high school junior's home." -Tom Wolfe, "Alas, by the time our almost-grown children arrive on campus, they will already have been hardened by exposure to the principles of Absurdistan. As a parent, I wish I had read Andrew Ferguson's guide to this world of bloviation, hypocrisy and bureaucracy before I was pitchforked into it myself." -Christopher Hitchens, "It's Andy Ferguson, so of course this book is meticulously researched, brilliantly written, and funny. But by using his son's forced march through the anxiety and muck of picking and getting into a college, Andy has done a new thing: He has employed poignancy as a tool of critical analysis. As a result, the stuffing is removed from the absurd, fraudulent, parasitic college admissions process-and from the absurd, fraudulent, and parasitic colleges themselves." -P. J. O'Rourke, bestselling author of Don't Vote It Just Encourages the Bastards, "A hilarious narrative and an incisive guide to the college admissions process… Ferguson cuts through the muddle to elevate the discussion and deliver some powerful big-picture analysis…[his] storytelling is irresistible." -Steven Livingston, The Washington Post, "Compulsively readable, unusually vivid . . . The most darkly humorous aspect of this often hilarious book is its depiction of an admissions process that corrupts everything it touches." --Daniel Akst, The Wall Street Journal, “[Ferguson’s] got a big, beating heart, but he tucks it behind a dry prose style that owes a little bit to Mark Twain and Tom Wolfe&and also to Dave Barry&[Crazy U] is a calm, amusing, low-key meditation on a subject that is anything but calm, amusing or low key.â€� Dwight Garner, The New York Times, “Alas, by the time our almost-grown children arrive on campus, they will already have been hardened by exposure to the principles of Absurdistan. As a parent, I wish I had read Andrew Ferguson's guide to this world of bloviation, hypocrisy and bureaucracy before I was pitchforked into it myself.â€� Christopher Hitchens, "In Crazy U , Ferguson is at his dazzling best, using humor and narrative as portals to very serious subjects. The book is both a hilarious chronicle of his 18-month ordeal helping his not-always-cooperative son apply to college and a devastating exposé of the buying and selling of higher education in America." -Christina Hoff Summers, National Review, "Andrew Ferguson has long been one of the funniest and most observant and beautiful writers. A satirist who can illuminate both the absurdities of life and its deeper meaning, he is the perfect guide to the madness of applying to college. Crazy U is not only a terrific and hysterical book-it may be the only way to keep you sane." -David Grann, bestselling author of The Lost City of Z, "Thank God a writer as good as Andrew Ferguson has finally written a book about what I, after two serious bouts of it, call 'college madness.' His title Crazy U says it faster and funnier. I've heard it called other colorful names but none fit for a book lying around in a high school junior's home." -Tom Wolfe, "Reading Andy Ferguson's prose is like sipping a martini-even if you don';t happen to drink martinis. His adventures in the college application trenches are hilarious, eye-popping, and instructive, a perfect match of author and subject. A+!"-Christopher Buckley, bestselling author of Losing Mum and Pup and Thank You for Smoking, "In Crazy U , Ferguson is at his dazzling best, using humor and narrative as portals to very serious subjects.
