Review: If you are a grad student, you will definitely relate to Hannelore's misadventures!

As a former grad student and TA myself, I could really identify with the trials, tribulations and misadventures of Hannelore.  Being a TA is hard work (and you are super underpaid) and when your undergrads are ungrateful and whiny, it makes the work that much harder and much less enjoyable.  Hannelore is cursed with undergrads that don't appreciate her and make trouble for her, AND an advisor who is totally disinterested in Hannelore's dissertation (and general existence!).  The author did a really great job of writing with a snarky wit that was really clever and made the book that much more enjoyable.  The characters are well developed and if you are a grad student (current or former), you will definitely identify with Hannelore - I sure did!  If you are looking for a funny, well-written book about one young woman's adventures in life, love and academia, you will enjoy this book.
