Customer Reviews

Finally, A book that understands us

The content of this book is absolutely great. It's based on factual information and REAL college student's experiences. I read this book in about a week, but the information I got out of it will last me my life. Matthews comes from an experienced background and he knows how to communicate with college students because he can relate. He does a very nice job not vilifying the usage of alcohol and other substances. This book is very benificial and informative to me and I believe it should be strongly influenced reading in college campuses.

Sobering Thoughts

Beer booze and books is required reading for any college student. Prof. Matthews book does not play games or preach. He tells what true and not glamourized or demonized. His information is from other college students and its a dialogue that many students have had with each other. This book, most importantly, makes you look at your own personal behaviors. I have had the pleasure of having Jim as a professor and he is pleasure to interact with him. In the back of the book he gives his contact information. If after you read this, you have something to say, contact him. I am positive he would love to hear it.
