An Advancement of Learning by Reginald Hill


My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Dalziel and Pascoe enter the world of academia. Hilarity ensues. Student government was never so exciting when I was in college. (Actually, we didn't have a student government when I was in college - at least one professor scolded us for being so unengaged in our education that we actually allowed the administration to run the university unimpeded. But I digress.)

This book is packed with colorful characters, and good solid detection. The assumption that even the students and faculty at a small teachers' college in Yorkshire will be terribly bohemian and anti-establishment does give the book a very 70s period feel, but it comes by it honestly - it was written in the 70s.

Heh, yes, how could we be so unengaged as to not have sit-ins for every little thing? Professors were so precious then.
