  <default_description>The hallowed halls of Moo University, a midwestern agricultural institution (aka &quot;cow college&quot;), are rife with devious plots, mischievous  intrigue, lusty liaisons, and academic one-upsmanship.  In this wonderfully written and masterfully plotted novel, Jane Smiley, the prizewinning author of &lt;i&gt;A Thousand Acres&lt;/i&gt;,  offers a wickedly funny, darkly poignant comedy.  A finalist for the  National Book Critics Circle Award for fiction.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[I was surprised to see this in the &quot;Unpopular books&quot; section, it was one of my absolute favorites ten years ago. But then again, my book club hated it too. Perhaps my own experience in a Big Ten school dominated by agriculture made me love it.   Smiley's account is witty, the characters ar...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/54750646">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Jane Smiley has got some incredible range.  She wrote the emotionally gripping <em>A Thousand Acres</em> and the entertaining (albeit occasionally a bit rambling) <em>Horse Heaven</em>.  <br/><br/>Moo is entertaining in so many ways.  The characters (and there are quite a few of them), while often caricatures of ce...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/9371280">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I got bogged down in the middle and picked it back up several months later, but still an amusing, and accurate account of life inside academia.  I like that she's pretty wide-ranging in her coverage of university life without over-reaching.  Even the discussions of the students and their lives struc...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/70027457">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Entertaining, particular since I went to university in the year described, but there were some anachronistic references (particularly noticeable since I went to university in the year described).
