Decent Read

Mr. Nuewer's book is extremely informative. I was looking for a book that had some examples and stories of hazing and their outcomes to see what the college life and fraternity life was really like and was caught a bit offguard to find that it was more a documentary novel about a few incidents and the legal ramifications thereof. He does a lot of legal discussions. It's not a terrible book by any means, but it could use some more examples and descriptions. I would recommend this if you are really interested in the legal ramifications of hazing. It's also not fraternity oriented - mainly sports oriented to my recollection.
