Used. Mass Market Paperback. Long before he was churning out courtroom thrillers, a young Scott Turow packed his bags for Cambridge to see if he had what it takes to survive the legendary legal gauntlet of Harvard's first-year class. This sharp, suspenseful memoir chronicles the sheer terror of the Socratic method and the brutal academic pressure cooker that turns eager minds into tense attorneys-in-training. It is a wonderfully candid look at the institutional intimidation that makes competing for a spot on the law review feel like a bloodsport. Whether you are eyeing a juris doctorate or simply enjoy watching smart people squirm, this classic account delivers all the drama without the billable hours.
