Looking for Class
Ratings1
Average rating2
An irresistible, entertaining peek into the privileged realm of Wordsworth and Wodehouse, Chelsea Clinton and Hugh Grant, Looking for Class offers a hilarious account of one man's year at Oxford and Cambridge -- the garden parties and formal balls, the high-minded debates and drinking Olympics. From rowing in an exclusive regatta to learning lessons in love from a Rhodes Scholar, Bruce Feiler's enlightening, eye-popping adventure will forever change your view of the British upper class, a world romanticized but rarely seen.

I had to push to get through this book. It was well written, but very boring. Not much happened, which would have been fine if some of the characters (who seemed interesting) had been given more attention. I found little/nothing to care about in the first three fourths of the book. By the time things picked up and began to draw my interest, the book was drawing to a close.
An interesting snapshot of life at Cambridge, but not one I'd recommend unless someone had a particular interest in Oxford or Cambridge.
