  3. Higher Ed, by Tessa McWatt, is a beautiful novel that follows five people who from the outside lead very different lives and are from very different backgrounds, but on the inside are searching for the same things I enjoyed reading this book very much The chapters jump around between characters so that the story is told in the five voices At first this bothered me, especially since chapters are short I found myself flipping to the character list at the front to remind myself of who they were But [...]

  6. This is an interesting novel about the vagaries of modern life, brought together by the unique perspective of five very different people, all with complex stories to tell.Their individual stories are told in short and snappy chapters We get to know them as people and learn about what makes them act in the way they do Some of them are not always very likeable, but their collective stories really make you think about the vagaries of modern lives Inevitably, they are all connected in some way, the [...]

Francine is grappling bulimia and the menopause along with wondering whether she ll survive the coming cuts in Quality Assurance Robin genuinely cares about his students as he philosophises over film and the dread of having a baby with the wrong woman Olivia wants to put the world to rights but isn t sure if her law degree will let her, or whether she should start with her own dysfunctional family and the father who s been hidden from her since she was four Ed soothes his own loneliness by ensur [...]

  10. Higher Ed is a novel that chronicles the lives of five radically different, similarly passionate Londoners who are trying to get to grips with the city that they reside in and the people that live in it It is a novel full of curiosity, of questions and of the one undying question that each person is forced to confront at some point in their lives Who will bury us It is a novel that is as philosophical as it is anthropomorphic It didn t try too hard to be something it wasn t It was beautiful in i [...]

  11. This book was a little bit weird I almost gave up after a few pages, but sticked to it and even developed certain empathy for Tessa McWatt s characters eventually At the beginning it was a little difficult to catch up and I had to keep going back to the list of characters And there were probably too many philosophical and witty parts that I didn t fully understand I m not sure whether it was my level of English or the writer s complicated thoughts or both Overall I liked the book, but I wouldn t [...]

  13. In Higher Ed , we glimpse into the lives of 5 characters who live in London As you read, one gets the feeling of following their lives through a daily video Sometimes the pace is pensive Overall, Tessa McWatt shows us the everyday life of average Londoners If you are expecting the excitement of a Hollywood film, this novel would not fulfill that need.Thank you GoodReads for the book.

  14. Five people living their lives in London, each chapter told from a different characters point of view My reason for the two stars is that I couldn t find a connection with the characters As the story progressed it didn t make me care about any of them, and I really like to read books that make me wonder about the characters long after I d finished reading Higher Ed just wasn t for me.

  15. This book is about 5 people Francine, Robin, Olivia, Ed and Katrin and each chapter is about one of them The setting is in London I found this not an easy style of writing to read After the first two chapters I almost quit but it got a bit better I had a hard time trying to understand the lingo and what it actually meant.I received this book for free through First Reads.

  16. I received this book from a giveaway Overall, I enjoyed this book I enjoyed the stories of each of the characters, but some, like Francine, were much interesting to me than others, like Olivia I found the author s writing style to be poetic Sometimes things were so beautifully stated Other times, I would have appreciated if things were stated simply.

  17. I won this book in a good reads first read contest I personally found it hard to keep track of all the characters in this book I just think it wasn t my type of book but I can see how others would enjoy it It s probably to do with the fact that I read a little each day.
